I invite you all to visit Mandy at Creekside Creations and read her blog on contentment...She is a sweet gal and has a wonderful blog... 

On Thankfulness and Simplicity:

Pat (my neighbor, friend, and we go to church together) wants to say hi and contribute:
"I thank the Lord for Laura's always being able to come and help get started to put my home back in order after years of working and not being able to keep order in the house and items weeded out...ie..paperwork, clothes...The Lord uses Laura to help me to perform a task I couldn't even know where to begin. Because of her quick judgement of where to start..I have a new lease on life. I can start to look for a new job and a new future without a collection of years of collecting paper, clothes, and who knows what else...without "baggage" which has affected my spiritual, mental, life..It brings peace and order and sanity...a new start! Not being cluttered and I can concentrate on finding a new career..."

Then Pat needed her vacuumn cleaner fixed. She had accidently sucked up something she shouldn't have.
So Mark was able to save the day! In 15 minutes flat.
