Is the storing of glue sticks a common practice in your home?
Perhaps you have come to discover what I have.... They are still there when you want to pull them out, they take up space ( small yes, but space anyway) and mostly are all dried up and useless. Hating to waste anything, even though I was not even a twinkle in anyone's eye during the great depression, I will toss a little nearly gone glue stick into a cupboard.
After this discovery of stored dried up glue sticks I have decided...
the storage of useful things will be on my list this year.
Such as food, water, fuel, first aid stuff, kindness, tolerance, and stuff like that.
You see, just like my dried up old glue sticks...
I have been known to hang on to and pull out old dried up hurts and resentments.
The useless hard feelings are just stuck away waiting till the right moment to be hurled to the forefront of my brain and heart.
Which is the exact place I want to be thinking "happy thoughts" as well as contemplating and planning some random act of kindness.
Filling the archives of my brain and heart with valuables such as tenderness, understanding, compassion, tolerance, and the under valued treasure of Charity is my desired goal.
From now on when I come upon a glue stick that still has value I put it to good use then toss it so it does not become something I don't want cluttering my cupboards.
From now on when I come upon a left over pain of the emotional kind, I will put energy into tossing it out and replacing it with tender reminders that we each have our own path here in mortality. At least I will try harder~!
I love the word Journey: "A set amount of travelling", and as I travel I learn.
I have a purpose as well as resources.
Putting to work the resources available to me for personal growth actually works to benefit everyone else.
Oh How I LOVE to clean out the closets and cupboards and get rid of the useless glue sticks.
It feels SO good !~!
