The Magic Of Gleaning

Gleaning is making sure you don't leave any good bits behind. Gleaners used to be the people who would go into a field after the harvest and get what was left. If you are a consistent gleaner your bounty will increase by a great deal. Your life will be more organized as well because you will never get into the habit of letting clutter build up. In today's world there are many ways to glean. Take a few minutes to answer the surveys that will pay you. Join in on the class action suits for which you are eligible to join. The award will be small but your effort was smaller. Bother to look for real bargains. When you buy a book on Amazon check to see if the same book you want is available in slightly used condition. Many people buy a book and then turn right around and resell it. You can buy that book at a much lower price than the new one. Go to garage and estate sales. Scrape the bottle completely before you declare it empty. Measure portions. See if things can do double duty, or can be repurposed. Don't pick up the truly waste matter, you only want the good. Buying things you don't need is picking up waste matter. Pay down your high interest credit cards as quickly as you can. I know a couple who like to travel. They glean travel miles from their credit cards by using them for everything but paying the card off totally every month. The world is full of magic and bounty. Reach out and share in all that. It is there for you to glean. May the spark be with you.
