have less stuff

We’re renovating…and I’ll be changing rooms in about 1 month. Packing up my things has been a nice way to sift through what I don’t need or want. When we had originally moved here, it seemed like my family just threw everything into boxes and off we went, bringing all the crap along with the valuable. I hate that idea. A new space deserves to be honoured.

Ok…to date I’ve thrown out 3 bags of garbage, donated 4 boxes of “stuff” and given away a whole bag of clothes! I’ve gone through and recycled all the little scraps of paper that I write notes on and started re-using the notebook that I have for this very reason. There’s a lot left to do, but it feels so good!

I’m kind of a pack rat…I can always find a use for something at one point or another, so why throw it away just to re-buy it again? I’ve gotten better with actually tidying up and organizing…tossing/recycling/donating the things that I don’t need or use, but somehow I still have all this “STUFF” and it’s driving me bonkers!
