Crowds. Bad lighting. Fawning salepeople. An event, much like going to the dentist, only to be embarked upon out of utmost necessity.

I'm feeling much better about that mood, thanks to you.

Although recently I have to admit I've been tempted by spending, I've always had a tendancy to shop when bored/stressed/down and a bad habit of convincing myself I need something. But so far so good, addictions take a long time to break but I'm getting there. Reading your blog helps get me back on track, especially after being bombarded with so many pesky ads!Holliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17571092643800282830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-80365092889346755132020-06-11T03:29:56.111-03:002020-06-11T03:29:56.111-03:00Sewing, reading, sitting outdoors in a swingSewing, reading, sitting outdoors in a swingPractical Parsimonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419071209412207674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-30130258650316329912020-06-09T16:07:55.584-03:002020-06-09T16:07:55.584-03:00Happiness is walking in the woods.Happiness is walking in the woods.Out My windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456481267171643227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-12870747402024570842020-06-09T12:28:41.266-03:002020-06-09T12:28:41.266-03:00I adore any type of picnic - like hot chocolate wh...I adore any type of picnic - like hot chocolate while watching the sunset or a sandwich while enjoying the river as it flows by.
