Myrtle Rockwell was a very dear lady. She was generous,patient, kind, forgiving, hospitable,wise, disciplined, hard working, friendly, enjoyed good meals, enjoyed simple things, she loved the Lord more than any material things. She was very special. She loved gardening. She loved our drives and we drove 1000's of miles. She had no regrets. I was so blessed by God to have known her.

Time to Move on and eliminate excess baggage.
One thing I am reminded of about Myrtle Rockwell was that she was so extremely forgiving. Me not so. It takes the Lord's Grace in my life to forgive. I'd call fire down if I could :).
One of the things Myrtle use to always say to me was, "why can't you just let it go?" And you know I don't know why. I really don't. I want to and I am learning that by Grace principles the Lord has provided through the Death burial and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The only way I can.
Anyway, as I look around my house, or where I am living I see so much "stuff" I don't use or need. So guess what? I am going to sell it. Some times for a change of mind we need a change of scenery. I need new. The old things remind me of old things. How about with you? Do you have old things to get rid of? Let's let September be a month a beginning to make some change-fresh! Myrtle and I did that at her house. Change things, move things, clean things get rid of things. Things things things who needs so many things? Can't take it with us and its all going to be destroyed anyway. Doesn't mean I don't want some things, just not a bunch of things, junk, stuff whatever it might be. And it is not just stuff, But thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, behaviors and habits. These to must go and be replaced with new!!! Good thoughts, hope, faith, love.
I have some goals. :) I want to keep them and get them accomplished.
Myrtle would say do it now, why wait? So I want to take some action on things I know I really need and want to do. She would forget the past and move on. So be it. Will you take that word too? I will.
Till I write again, take action, do it now.
If Myrtle in this picture was to say something to me I think it would be, "Have you started yet?!"
