I'm doing 43 things
Untitled
2 years ago
I did this in 2005 (for the first time) as a challenge to myself, and found it surprisingly easy once I got into a routine.
It was rewarding creatively and finished with over 55,000 words on November 25.

I've been working on it ...
2 years ago
I actually started trying to minimize a couple years ago, but it’s a battle against a pack rat husband to let go of things. It’s not like we have many material possessions, but too much for my taste.
Sooo … I’m focusing just on my own personal stuff and slowly giving away to friends, charity and Freecycle.
Finally Started
2 years ago
I gathered up a bunch of my mom’s clothing. She died a few years ago, but I haven’t been able to push myself to give away her things. I put together a huge amount and donated to a local charity. It was hard, but rewarding at the same time.
Need to continue doing this.
