That must feel good after working for so long, yes? Walking from place to place, without care, only to worry about nourishing the body. :)

I can understand downsizing the house. I never could, but, the upkeep is definitely a reason to keep it in mind. I don't mind now, but, will I mind in ten or twenty years? One of those things that we don't think about until it knocks on our back door.

It seems like you have been taking good care of yourself and you are working on keeping your health and mental health in good shape. Being active and doing the things you enjoy doing keep us feeling good about life. You have found a fun way to pass the time and enjoy the good life. I love thrifting - neither one of us needs anything, but, there are things that are lovely to look at. I thank God for good friends and relatives that you have to keep looking in on your life. You must be a good person to have that many looking after you. 💜

Thank you for sharing your thrifting and for the peek at your gallery! So nice looking. I also like that magnetic memo that you have!

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday
