be less of a packrat

I am happy to say that about a week ago I cleaned out a good bit of the nick-nack stuff I like to keeps on my desk. Got rid of the old magazines that just LOVE to hang out in my room. lol
Hoping next week I can filter through it again. :)

that I really just don’t want to deny. So, I give you up being less of a packrat. I love my trinkets and memories.

I am moving in July and since I decided that I throw stuff out everyday, even bad people and places, and I feel light and delightful.

It is so refreshing to get rid of junk. If I haven’t used it in a year or two, it’s out. If it makes me unhappy, it’s out. If it doesn’t fit, it’s gone. If I have two of them, I give one to a friend or send it to the Salvation Army. My house is starting to look neater, and I don’t have to cram things into storage—things have their own place and I can always find them on short notice.

Now, if I could just get the rest of my family to do this… :)

I need to donate at least a quarter of my old clothes. I have been putting this off because I can sew and think that I will be able to reuse something by altering it. Or, I think that depending on what job I wind up in next, I might find the item useful after all.
