purge my home of all the things I don't love or use

I’m getting rid of the TV stand, since now our TV is mounted. I was keeping it “just in case”, but I’m trying to live with open hands. This is hard, but anything with doing starts out that way, right?

Today is my 35th birthday, & it’s probably the worst one yet. However, I am determined to make this one of my most successful years ever. There are fundamental, core changes that need to be made. One part is my clutter problem. I’m always afraid of being without, of being in need, that I hold into things which have lost its purpose. Now, I have piles of clothes on the floor & cluttered countertops & drawers. All this clutter makes me unhappy. It’s the inspiration of many fights and sometimes (when I trip over stuff) injuries. Today, I’ve started worth my kitchen. I threw away dozens of plastic containers. I also put my cookbooks in a cupboard & found a home for my son’s dishes & utensils. I have a load of clothes washing, but I will only put away that which I love or need. Everything else will go straight to a plastic bag to donate. This year I change.
