Saturday June 25 2016  BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, AND NOT AGAIN!

WOW!  What more can I say.  Perhaps I am realizing for the first time in a long time that I can’t really expect my body to do what it used to do.  That is an eye-opening moment. 

HISTORY WE CANNOT MEND

By Kathleen Martens

June 25, 2016

A three day garage sale is a saga,

A story best left untold.

When I take to account my age,

Tackling this endeavor was bold!

So much work it was to prepare

The tables, the boxes, the displays,

And now that it is over

My garage is in total disarray.

It is a sight to behold,

As if a hoarders live at this address.

I just hope company doesn’t stop by

Because the entire house is really a mess.

This coming week is to rearrange,

To pack up and donate it all.

If this old body will endure

Packing up hundreds of dolls.

I’m just thrilled the sale is done.

Three days seemed like such a long time.

Now I desire to get rid of more stuff

So that my life will be more sublime.

Oh to do over, the things of our past,

Those years cannot be lived again.

There is so much I’d do differently,

But history we cannot mend.

All we can do is go forward,

Learning from the mistakes we’ve made.

And perhaps the memories of this harrowing time

Will someday in the future fade.

Thank You God once again for your protection over us and all the people that came to our garage sale today.

Thank You Lord that I was able to keep my stamina through the intense heat.

Thank You God for working miracles in the little things.

Thank You Jesus that I was able to share Your love today with others.

Thank You Lord for goat cheese.

GOOD NIGHT AND GOD BLESS YOU!
