My challenge to me for this week (or maybe I mean this fortnight .... or even this month) is to get my life laundry done. A "life laundry" is a clearing out of all the things you've kept that you don't in fact use or need.
So today I've cleared out and recycled:
* books (Oxfam)
* household linen (Help the Aged)
* china (Age Concern and the local hospice)
* cardboard (Household Recycling Centre)
* wood (Ditto)
I've also turned a lot of woody garden waste into wood ash. (Another lovely burn-up!)
My prayer for today is that that everyone will strive to do their bit for our planet, especially anything that will help to combat climate change, with its devastating effects on the world's poorest people.
