Last weekend, I drove (I am ashamed to admit) THIRTY-FIVE big black lawn bags to the dump. Not to mention the numerous loads to goodwill. It feels tremendously good and a bit like "out with the old, in with the new" except I'm really going to limit the "new" part...
lillamy,
No shame here! You did a fantastic job, what a load of "stuff"
out of your way.
I am doing it for that
clear feeling.
Looking in the closet and seeing what's there, stuff I use, not stuff I am holding
onto for "hoard" (using this word in the way it is used on that show).
One of those "hoard" reasons is the fear of giving up anything "just in case".
Now, I have a different perspective.
I want to move, do I want to carry this with me?
I am surprised and pleased at the number of times I can say no.
This is part of the past, not what I want to carry to the future.
It feels tremendously good and a bit like "out with the old, in with the new"
Some of my treasures are finds from the Salvation Army store, or other thrift stores.
To those of you of who give to the SA, thank you very much.
What is old to you is new to me!
I still have a 3 dollar clock on my bedroom wall, bought at the SA 5 years ago!
I love that place. But I have to limit my "in with the new" too!
What a great place SR is, I learn so much.
Thank you all for contributing.
