    ❤Margaret and friends, good day to all. You are so inspiring, Margaret, and you brighten my day with your attitude and gratitude toward life and all its challenges. I was thrown into purging my 3 bedroom/basement/garage home when my ex filed for divorce. I was 62 five years ago and I was devastated. When I finally got out of bed I began “cleaning up my life”. Moving to another state will definitely motivate-now I’m in an apartment close to my grandsons and still purging. I’ve learned that memories and love are not in “things”. Keep up your amazing self dear Margaret. Now I say to me: if Margaret can do it so can I! God bless all watching. From me in chilly southeast Michigan 👏🏻💕🦋🙏

    You are so funny! Great fix in the closet. This reminds me to get started doing the same organizing and learn minimalist habits. It’s amazing how much we accumulate over the years. Thanks for sharing and yes, it’s a great feeling!

    Margaret your closet idea came out Great! Oh Wow just as you were telling us about your Dear Brother Don I think he was behind the camera to let you know he is with you and knows how much you love him 💙 I'm so sorry for your loss. Your love is keeping him near I believe. Would love to see you have Tyler Henry come to your house. The Hollywood Medium, He has the Life After Death with Tyler Henry as a clairvoyant medium show. If he confirmed your brothers presence that would be so neat and then we would know Tyler Henry abilities were real. This was a great Video Margaret thanks for sharing your life with us. We all have stories to tell and some of us are brave enough to share them maybe more easily in our later years. It takes courage and feeling comfortable in your own skin. Acceptance of where you once were and the here and now and what is to come in the future. We Love your shares. They are so real and relatable. Yet Unique because there yours. Margaret being Margaret 💕

    Margaret, I kept 2 Boom boxes. When I lived in South Carolina on occasion we would be without electricity so I would get batteries for them . I took one to my neighbor always put it on good station for her. I used my gas grill for coffee and warming soups for myself and her.

    I had 2 of those radios that you took out of the closet. I kept them in my shed. When ice or a storm caused our electric to go out I would put the batteries in them . I took one to my neighbor and I had one for me. They really came in handy we kept up with news and weather.

    The cat walked by when the camera was turning...young people need boundaries and that's why the need our input, our wisdom before they make decisions...they are going to listen to many voices...some not very wise. And those voices won't help them soar and even worse they might crash, when they decide to spread wings and fly. They can learn from our mistakes and not have to pay the very dear price of learning via experience.

    Watching you has encouraged me to go back and complete the next phase of my clothing purge. When we moved to a smaller home, I got rid of lots, but there are some sentimental things I simply need to get honest about. Heck, I will never ever wear most of that stuff.
    Thanks, Margaret. BTW, your new closet is marvelous!!

    Good Morning Margaret. Oh no, don’t throw the baby blanket and baby shoes away. Ask your sons if they want them. Lol. Your doing what I’ve been doing for a week. I did a deep, deep cleaning out of everything. Now, I’ve got 3 large boxes full of clothes and miscellaneous to hopefully go into a friends yard sale. Unless she cancels it. If so, I will take everything to a women’s shelter. Whew, it’s work isn’t it? But what a good feeling once it’s done. My apt feels fresh and opening my closets now is so nice to see everything organized and not crammed packed. You are so good at doing things like putting in a pole for hanging clothes up. Great fun, thank you for bringing us along. Yes, I’ve lost my three best, best friends a yr apart. And two just 2 months apart, so no more. I can’t handle the pain. But I so agree in that we should and hope to guide the younger generation in planting little nuggets or seeds in hope that they will sprout and they will take those seeds and grow in a better way. I truly believe your going to love Retirement ! It will take time to adjust, but look out Margaret will be free. Lol.

But like you, I’ve really cleared out a lot of clothes, items like that and much more. What a good feeling.

    Margaret....just love your videos! Never get tired of them - in fact when I know there is a new one--I get so excited and plan a time when I can watch without interruption. You have inspired me to go thru my dressers and start pitching out things. I have to plan to do that though cause I will need a good 2 hours. In fact, I am looking forward to it. So sorry about your brother. I know you miss him. My brother is two years younger than me. As a child all I wanted to do was kiss his chubby cheeks and he hated it!! We became really close again when my parents passed away. We also have a sister who has given us two beautiful nephews, but my brother and I never had children. I think that is why when we became 'orphans', we leaned on each other. He is my 'go to' whenever I have a problem or need to just talk things thru. Didn't want to make this about me....sorry. Anywho....thanks for a great video. Just love it when I see you using tools - what you did to your closet was great!! You had a plan and saw it through. Also your yard work looks awesome. Thanks for taking us with you to the yard, Home Depot and beyond!!!

    Margaret, If you could see my closet, you would feel good about yours!!! If I even picked up a drill, I would end up dropping it on my right foot (that's the one I favor for dropping things on...). I still have baby blankets, jackets and other things from my kids and two of them are in their 50's with the youngest nearly 40..... With those important things said😁....I am so glad my mother and ladies of her age gave me input as I was growing up. That input probably saved my life at times!!
