There were lots of great comments this week and here are the five that I have chosen to bring to your attention. Deb J tells us in this comment how her church group is trying to do their bit for the environment. Like decluttering, every little thing makes a difference. Kathleen has been reading my blog for a while but was inspired by my Simple Saturday ~ Operation donate Recycle post to leave her first comment. I am glad it has inspired her to make her own stand for the environment. Sharron points out some interesting facets of perfectionism in this comment. Funny how the same trait … [Read more...]

Comments aren't as plentiful as they used to be but there are still some great ones among them and here are five of those that we received this week. Wendy B has left two great comments that I didn't want you to miss. She shared a couple of good donating tips with us last Thursday in this comment and gives some good advice about moving on in this comment. Great advice Wendy B, thank you. This comment from a new contributor jbc puts a whole new slant on how to disassociate from hidden clutter. I hadn't even considered this possibility before. Thanks jbc and welcome to 365 Less Things. It … [Read more...]

Here are my favourite five comments of the week. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Becky left this comment on the weekend about the advantages of the New Messy at her home. This Comment from Cat'sMeow expresses how glad she is that the word is continuing to get out about the advantages for living with less. Carolyn dropped in to leave her first ever comment and tells us about her "blessing in disguise" declutter experience. Sharron shares how she changed the way she stores food in this comment in response to Cindy's Weekly Wisdom this week. Sue tells us about her … [Read more...]

My favourite five comments has turned into ten this week. There were so many great comments and so many new readers adding to the conversation that I just could not resist doubling my quota for the week. My choices this week may seem a little indulgent at times because there are a lot of lovely thank yous among them. But each thank you message comes with a unique story from the writer that I thought had a lot to add to the conversation. This comment comes from Ann who despite the fact she has been laid up for months with an Achilles heal injury has not let that stop her from … [Read more...]

This week's posts inspired some great responses from our readers and below are five of the many that I enjoyed reading. I liked Sabine  take on gift giving and receiving in this comment. Jo's concerns were quite valid in her comment about the perils of upsetting people when decluttering obligation clutter. Snosie tells us how she has soaked up my advice over the last couple of months and is putting it in to action in this comment. Jude has some great cable recycling tips for our American readers in her comment in response to The Great Cable Roundup. Sharron reminds us again … [Read more...]

As you know I enjoy and answer all the comments directed to me here at 365 Less Thing but each week I choose five to share with you that I don't want you to miss and below are this week's five. I had to include this comment from Katharine this week and add my heartfelt congratulations. Dianne had a sad story to tell in her comment in response to my post Sharing the wisdom of experience. I so very much appreciate readers sharing their stories, happy or sad, because there are such important lessons to be learned from them. Angle Kay shows she is really "getting it" with this comment … [Read more...]

The comments are coming in on a less frequent basis of late due to Summer vacation time in the Northern Hemisphere but there were still plenty to choose from and here are my picks for the week. I enjoyed this great comment for *pol who freely admits to being a former packrat. LJayne points out in her comment that there is a balance to be struck between too little and too much even when it comes to photography. I love Natalle's approach to photographing her children in this comment in response to Cindy's Weekly Wisdom ~ Photos, photos everywhere. This comment from ideealistin wasn't … [Read more...]

Friday's Favorites, but Not Five Once again I am delving into the cyberworld to ferret out interesting and useful blogs for your enjoyment. Because this week was lower than usual on comments, and higher than usual on blog suggestions, I decided to change it up a bit. Hopefully I won't be in trouble with you or with Colleen! 1. Since so many readers have lots of scrapbooking materials, I love this guide to holiday gift making. It's July - time to start, right? (Warning, at least one of the links doesn't work any more.) … [Read more...]

Colleen is on vacation visiting her daughter and other family, so I'm exploring the blog world this week and picking the Friday's Favorite Five. As a reminder, I rarely read blogs, so picking 5 favorites is always an experiment for me. 1. There is not one post I'm  specifically pointing to here. The Good News Network is my favorite site besides 365 Less Things, and I have visited it every day for years. I think we all could use more good news and less grim in our lives. Geri, who founded the Good News Network, has excellent journalistic credentials as she used to work for CNN, which she … [Read more...]

Hi Folks, it's Friday again and here are my favourite five comments of the week This is the first comment we've received from Smoothagator and what a great one it is too. I hope she will join in and share her special brand of wisdom with us on a regular basis. Thanks Smoothagator and welcome to 365 Less Things. This comment came from Grace in Brazil in response the Cindy's Weekly Wisdom ~ First Fruits. It is short but sweet so I have cut and pasted it here rather than add a link. ~ Something my 17 year old daughter said recently also puts this in perspective. She stated quite wisely, … [Read more...]
