Second day of July, it's a Monday and it is the start of the 2nd half of the year. Where did the 1st half go?There are triggers to jump start me throughout the year. Some are weather related - springtime is to plant the garden.
Some are event related - we have a birth and wedding this year in the clan.
Then often it is just the accumulation of all of the above that triggers the "oh my" need to pay attention to the stuff in my life.
Today - pulled out a bunch of stuff from my NCTV cubby and that's my task for the next couple of days.
Clearing out "stuff" on a regular basis lightens the load. I did one of the upper cabinets in the kitchen (again) and found a few more items that could go to the donate box. Went through the clothes closet and weeded out some of the pieces that I haven't worn or will not be wearing. In the office, I went through paper files and found that 90% was outdated and needed to go to the shredder!
I was talking with my mom the other night and she is considering downsizing from the house she and my dad built. Yet she continues to lament that no one wants her stuff. First time where two generations are downsizing at the same time and no one wants the stuff. Life evolves, you need to rid yourself of clutter or get stuck in the past.
Remember, when you are de-cluttering --- reuse, recycle, reduce is the way to go.
