Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

Life is all about stewardship. It all belongs to God - he just loans it to us for a short period of time. The first command God gave to man was to take care of the Earth, which includes managing and protecting the environment.…

You made the right choice.

I never even thought that would be so, that a regular name might be a pen name. What an interesting bunch we are, aren't we?
My pen name on the novel I am writing is NOT Lydia. That name reminds me of an old lady (ha, which I am already) but my spirit is as young as a sprite faery ...uh, well, maybe that isn't a good example....a 20 yr old, how's that?
ANyway, Jennie....Do you remember a very old movie called "Portrait of Jennie?" It was a true romance. You should see it sometime if you never have. Famous love story, but a very old story. There is a station that shows old movies I can't remember the name. Or maybe one of those shops that carry old films. Well, I love your name anyway you look at it. Talk soon!

I will be your friend as long as you wish! Thank you for being MINE!
I can't help but think when I see the name "Jennie" about Forrest Gump...."Jenneeee...." Remember that? (priceless: Tom Hanks is amazing)
Anyway, when you and I have moments of reprieve, let's chat!

I love that name, Fatal Fixer-Upper.
Much success with our book release.
I hope you have a good time here & be sure to tell your friends!
