The Energy of Things

Several years ago, I was advised to surround myself with what I loved and get rid of everything else. So I discarded everything I had bought because it was trendy or because an interior designer said I should have it. What was left was what I loved.

A few moments ago, I finished dusting. As I picked up items, I remembered. The elephants that were the mascot for our marriage. The "Hallelujah Lady" who is the theme for my life. The Ansel Adams photographs my daughter gave me. The art from very special artists whom we love. I could go on.

It's taken awhile for me to learn what I love. Through the years, I have discarded much. Today I am surrounded by what I love.

You write it:  What surrounds you? What energy does it give?
