On Monday I draw the winner of Faith, the lovely hand finished bear I will be sending to one of the wonderful people who have taken the time to comment on my blogs. I have also decided that she will be my painting portrait, subject tomorrow night. I rather enjoy posing a bear with flowers, as a painting subject.

Faith will be far happier heading off to her new owner than where she was before stored along with my art supplies in metal buildings we hired for the purpose, while we downsized from Buninyong gallery where she was created.

There is room here on the grass lands near our summer studio if we wanted to put up a metal building as storage; a few of our neighbours have done this, on this communal vacant land not far from the lake. Space is still a little crammed in our downsized home so I suppose I know I could use the extra space but I also know I should be downsizing, lol, me as well as my possessions, and having another room, in the form of a metal building on the nearby land, would be like my keeping bigger clothes, ‘just in case’, it would be too easy to begin spreading again, lol, J. So Faith sits for her portrait with me tomorrow night for a little relaxation and pleasure for me and then  we find her a new owner on Monday and I look for creative ways to downsize some more possessions.

Kathy, throw away your bigger clothes! You do NOT need them "just in case" . You have achieved so much in your weight loss & healthy lifestyle journey and it WILL continue. throw them away and enjoy the life of a slimmer, more energetic young lady!

I totally agree in regards to building a "storage building" its hard to downside, so having a little extra room for you art supplies etc (not your bigger clothes) will be a great idea. You can downsize as you go along with no pressure to get rid of things because you don't have the room.

Faith will find a loving home I'm sure of it and please do not put my name in the barrel, I have so many lovely items of yours here that I can look at when I think of you xxx

lol, Jo, I know you and Wayne would not move any place, not even a block of land, if Wayne did not have his big metal building standing there first, even before the home. lol. A few people around here, buy shipping containers, put a ventilation shaft in the ceiling and a front securely bolted metal door. I think 'how sturdy and safe they are as storage'. I have a friend in QLD who was even looking at having one large open plan metal building placed on her block to fit out as a home, such a safer alternative, if anchored well, than some of the structures built in cyclone prone areas. I think a lot of seniors who are downsizing are thinking outside traditional concepts of what they need as a home and moving away from the traditional bricks and mortar set up wanting to spend thier remaining years enjoying lifestyle not making an impress the Jones with the designer look of the home. lol, a metal box if it was roomy, light and airy and insulated would do me any day, and make it light weight and stick it on good wheels, and lol, I'm 'on my way' to everywhere I want to go. :-). I know you will be living this sort of life, one day, too Jo, :-), and loving it.

Cheers kathy

    _Happy New year :-)
    I am going to combine several seemingly contradicting eating and exercise programs and put together my own Artslim Naturally slimming and Gray-Nomad fitness program.  I plan to bring these out as a low cost EBook and small paperback. They will suit anyone interested in managing weight with son=me difficult health conditions such as metabolic syndrome and past injuries.

     I'll be showing you some of the books I am reading that have some excellent qualities, although they will not be exactly what I am putting together to suit me and my style of doing things.
    I will be focusing on eating and exercising for wellness, weight loss if obese, weight management and balanced fulfilling lifestyle..
