Hey there Gentle Reader,
How have ya been? Fab I hope!!! I disappeared for a bit to get caught up on the old "Ta-Da" list!! Having those lovely weeks off only gave me energy to enhance the list BIG time!!! My list HAD a list! Soooo I'm back!
When you get the chance to relax at home for a bit AND your regular routine is changed, you see a lot! A lot, a lot! Despite my desire to follow the recycle, reuse. and repair items around my place, I can see that I STILL have so much stuff. Not a bad thing really as I do appreciate all in my world but I know that I don't need everything that's in it. Like most people, I have a tendency to hang onto things long after their value wears out (EVEN if I have no idea what the heck it was in the first place!!)
Plus I like to gear up for "back to school" in September. I'm not really going back to school BUT I love the idea of beginning a new year like the students do.
So my goal for the rest of this month is to really decide what I need to keep in my life and which items can go out. Of course I will start to justify some things (this purse? THIS purse? Why I ALWAYS use my Hello Kitty purse because it's cute. Why yes, it barely carries my cell phone but...but...BUT...yeah - that kind of thing)
I find it helps to make a list of items that are taking up space but you haven't used in many months (or even years). Especially those things lurking in the back of your closet or hiding down in your storage unit/basement. The old "out of sight, out of mind" goodies. Sometimes seeing them on paper and not actually being in front of them makes it easier to decide what to do. Especially good for sentimental items and we ALL have those in our homes.
I'd like you to write up a list of 5 items that you haven't used/worn/or even seen in the last six months and their next "home" (sounds nicer that way). Once you get started, it does get easier (says the monkey to herself!)
We'll compare lists later!
Until Thursday.
Linda
