There is now NOTHING in my closet, or in my dresser drawers, that doesn’t fit. Also, that I don’t like. This takes up much less room than did all the clothes I was dragging around in case I needed them someday. And if I take something out of the closet, it fits and I like it. Excellent.



Making More Progress 1 year ago

I’ve gotten rid of LOTS—selling some things on eBay, giving things away. Lovely.

Still in process, though.



Making Progress 3 years ago

I realize I’ll never be rid of EVERYTHING I don’t need, until I’m dead, unless I scale back enormously and enter some sort of retreat, permanently. Just not gonna happen.

However—we’re slogging through the stuff over at the old house, and though it’s mostly my husband’s, some of it is mine, and I’m indeed letting go of things I don’t need.

We’ve still got stuff to move over here, but you know, it’s not that much. We’re NOT going to be living in the cluttered chaos we had before.

And I’ve noticed that all three of us - the child included - are keeping up with things over here. We put stuff away. We find places fo rit.

It was a new start, the moving into the beloved ancient house. We’re determined to stay in at least minimal concsiousness.

Now, to be honest, there will still be stuff I don’t need around, since we still will own the house we’re in, and we might take a few weeks to fully get out of it,

BUT

I’m throwing out, giving away, selling, masses of stuff.

Oh, it’s lovely.



Several boxes of books 3 years ago

The books in one room are done—packed up, half are to keep and half are to give away. Excellent.

Since I’m moving, I’ve got a push for this. Anything I don’t need I don’t get rid of, I move. Ick.

So, the plan: Throw away; give away; sell at garage sale; sell on eBay.
