Cleaning House

Last Saturday our condo homeowner's association had its annual meeting.  This year, because of the virus and the local stay at home orders, it was held on Zoom instead of sitting side by side outdoors under our towering mango tree.

It was the first time I'd used Zoom.  Interesting experience.  I turned off my computer camera, muted my computer microphone and just listened to the 3 hour meeting.  Listened, filed my nails, made and ate a salad, watched telly (close captioning on, sound muted)... and realized at the end of the meeting that it was something I never needed to do again.  I'll receive copies of the board reports and financials in the mail, including the minutes from the meeting I just listened to.  Deja vu all over again.  Yawn.

It's called cleaning house, resetting my priorities, eliminating the crap from my life.  This week I looked at the list of candidates for our local elections coming up in November.  Same old, same old.  I won't be wasting my time at the polls.

Same goes for people.  I realized there are some people around me who do not enhance my life.  They bring with them nit-picking negativity I don't need or want.  Bye-bye.

I feel better already. 

What can you clear out of your life?  What do you want to be YOUR new normal?

Spark joy in your life.  Stay safe.  Stay healthy.  Stay well.
