I just rejoined FlyLady.net yesterday as a FlyBaby to get all the messages every day. I was a member years ago and spread your word near and far. Then I figured I was ready to go it alone. I stopped doing some of the routines and de-cluttering for 15 minutes a day and here I am trying to catch up again.

Wait a minute, no I’m not. I just realized, thanks to all I learned and adapted to years ago, I’m not too bad off at all. It isn’t 8:30 am yet. My bed is made, I’m all dressed right down to my shoes (not tie shoes but sandals that won’t fall off if I break out running.) I’ve had my breakfast and morning meds and vitamins, and the dishes are washed, dried and put away, including the fry pan. The living room is dusted and the glass top table in the dining area has been washed and dried with the purple rags. One load of laundry is in the dryer and the other in the washer. Last night before bed the Rid-ex was flushed, so the septic tank that was cleaned out last week (not by me!) will keep everything running smoothly. The hose is adding water to the pool that I’m blessed with here in southwest Florida. My great-granddaughter’s birthday card is out in the mailbox awaiting pickup. I’ve said my morning devotions (a great way to prepare for whatever the day brings.) When I finish with this letter I’m going to make little cardboard squares with numbers so I can play FlyLady Bingo. I made my bingo list when I saw your post about it a couple of days ago, or maybe it was yesterday. Doesn’t matter. My clocks are now on FlyTime. It doesn’t make any difference what time I do something as long as I do it. I can do anything for 15 minutes. I used to be overwhelmed and never got anything done. Now I’m relaxed and have more control than I ever had when I worried about how much I had to do.

You’ve truly changed my life, as well as the lives of many people around me.

Thank you and God bless,
