Dear fellow travelers,
Thank you for your wonderful emails. I'm so grateful for you!!!
Now that the new year is well on its way. I have taken all last years paid
bills, calendars, checking info etc., all that stuff of last year, to their new
home, away from my desk. Obviously the desk is much less congested now. There
is actual empty space!
Then I didn't stop there, I went to my bathroom, under the sink cabinet.
I had eleven cans of spray mousse!! Really! not to mention the hair sprays,
shampoos and on and on it went. Needless to say there is more room there now
also. How could I just keep buying all those products!!
Then came my computer area. I had misplaced my center's directory. How
could I not find a ringed notebook?? That is what actually started my
decluttering task.
I spent half a day going thru old files and notebooks, and cleared out
everything I hadn't looked at in years and didn't even remember I had. At the
moment, to me, the shelves look neat. A rather large bag of stuff went out the
door.
I actually even found the ringed notebook!!
How good it feels to see my computer table!
Now I'm really ready for the new to come! Decluttering is a good thing,
maybe not when it may seem overwhelming to start, but in the end to me it is a
relief.
I know I cant really enjoy the new, if I don't have room for it, wondering
where to store it, or I'm still attached to all that old stuff.
Is there anything you are ready to unload? detach from? clear out?
Of course this could be a metaphor for anything mentally also that is
dragging us down. What is not serving us anymore? Is it time to let it
go?
Its time, I think for our lives to be lighter! Have fun this year or more
fun!
Just pondering on decluttering,
