I declare my independence from being cold in the winter. I will plan ahead to go to a warm place for a few months and while still in Minnesota, I will dress warmer or stay inside.

I declare independence from feeling guilty for not doing it all.

I’m declaring my independence from the computer & vow to spend less time on it and more time with family, sewing, reading, car washing, cleaning, just anything other than the computer…

Oh, how I wish I could declare independence from perimenopause! Instead, I declare independence from STRESS. It seems to agravate the ‘getting older’ syndrome; all my decisions from this point forward will be made with one question in mind: will it stress me out?!!!

I am declaring independence from guilt. I don’t expect that will make it go away, but every reminder I give myself that I don’t HAVE to feel that way helps.

So… today, I am happy to be who I am, and feel what I feel, and do what I do.

Thanks for the giveaway, but thanks most of all for the independence-declaring challenge!

I declare my independence from busy-ness…for the weekend, at least We got home from a crazy trip to TX last week and have still been going non-stop. Birthdays… 4th of July parties…I plan to just play tomorrow. No agenda. Ahhh…can’t wait.

I declare independence from others trying decide what I’ll make next. I like to sew what I feel like sewing. I sometimes just feel like skipping around from one project to the next. It doesn’t matter to me who asked first no one is getting theirs until Christmas anyway!!

I declare my independence from worrying! I’ve spent the past two days in a huff, and it’s time that I get over it!

I declare my independence from the crushing emotional burden or unemployment. I will no longer spend my days spend my days worrying about “what ifs”…what if we loose the house, can’t pay utilities, someone gets hurt, blah, blah, blah. I will no longer spend time trying to determine how long before before our finances hit the critical zone. I am not going to spend another moment living under a dark cloud and I will not wake up and cry in the middle of the night.

I will continue to support my husband as he looks for work. I will do my very best at my part time job. I will play with and love my children (they don’t deserve a sad mommy). I will continue to economize and enjoy the challenge of “making due”. I will focus on the peace of knowing that no matter what happens we are still going to be a family together.

I declare my independence today from worrying about the future, it’s a waste of time.

Apparently my mind has declared independence from itself! I have just been so forgetful lately!

I would LOVE to win these fabrics! The ones you show are so lovely. I will be making a red, white and blue quilt for my son one of these days so these would be a perfect addition to my stash!

Going through all of that fabric sounds interesting. I can’t even imagine how much you are having to sort through.

Hope you have a fun 4th of July!

Wish my kids would help me organize my space! I’ve started, but getting help putting in shelves and such doesn’t come easy. I need to hire someone me thinks…

Anyway, I SHOULD declare independence from griping, but I’m not in the mood . For several years now, I’ve declared independence from the HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY syndrome. That stress of the immediate really takes it’s toll. I raised six kids and always put out whenever needed, now that they are older, I MAKE time for myself and do the things I WANT to do WHEN I want to do them. Sometimes I feel guilty for being selfish, but I was selfless for so long I figure I deserve/need it now. I enjoy my days! They are stress free and peaceful and fun! Anyone want to join me???? Have a great day…I know I will.

I declare my independence from procrastination! I’m taking care of some pesky details instead of letting them cause me to fret.
Hooray!
