Attitude Adjustment

Sometimes a little thing changes my attitude from good to bad or bad to good.

It's the last day of the month.  I was focused on end of the month review of my bills and my closet stats.  In the middle of it all, my husband (married 40 years) asks me if I want anything on the grocery list. 

How am I supposed to know on the spur of the moment when I am totally into what I was doing.  I don't know.  There's always too much food here.  He's more about having an item and two back ups and I'm happy with this is what I have now and not getting anuyhing until I absolutely need or want it.  I do not need four boxes of cereal, fifteen yogurts, and three different pastries as choices for breakfast! I do not need two heads of lettuce and so many tomatoes or cucumbers that they go bad before I can eat them in a salad.  In fact, I do not eat lunch every day so having umpteen choices is ridiculous. I won't even get into dinner!

However, this blog is about my Poshmark experience not about my marital challenges.  

As I said, I was in the middle of totalling out January.  Now, I am not one who makes a living on Poshmark but I do make enough to take a friend out for coffee or lunch. It's about how much fun I have and not about what I make.  At my age after 45 years of teaching and 40 years married, I need a distraction.  But, I also need to feel I am doing something not just for myself but for someone else.

The items I bought for January average cost per item was $2.95.  The averaage per item sold was $14.  I'm ok with that.  I received all 5 star ratings from those who rated the tiems.  No negatives.  Several positive comments.  All that makes me feel good about what I am doing.

Poshmark does give me something important.  I feel a purpose and I have hope for the future.  I do not want to sit around all day watching useless television or surfing the internet. When I was teaching, I had plenty to keep me busy.  When I took care of my grandsons, I was constantly doing something.  I miss the good parts of that once in a while until I remember how hard it was to get up at 4 am! 

Thank you, Poshmark and all Poshers who have supported my closet. You keep me busy and feeling a sense of purpose. I feel a little better now. I think I'll go do my own grocery shopping!
