And then there were the laundry baskets of miscellaneous items for Goodwill last week...and two weeks before that, a load of paper that filled the back of my CRV, destined for the community-wide shredding event at one of the local banks. We had tax records stowed away that went back to the early nineties! Good grief. But even with this small start after years of living in one house, I suddenly feel a little lighter. Happier.
I keep thinking that--though we have no plans to move from our acreage in the country--you never know what life will bring. Just in the last year, we've lost three good friends. Unexpected losses.
And I keep thinking that it's only fair to work harder at getting my life in order, lest our kids have to deal with all of our stuff. I really need to buy and read that Marie Kondo book, to see if it will help!
Just in case you'd like something more for your shelves, my newest book is out now! :) And...in case you'd like something more, I'll happily mail one of my paperback novels to each of FIVE winners in a drawing (USA residents only.) The winners can look on Amazon to find a title they would like. If I don't have the one you choose, we can try to find another one you'd like.
Do you have trouble dealing an accumulation of "stuff" as well? Any ideas for me on how to handle it all? :)
All the best,
Roxanne

Roxanne, I so understand about clearing out space. We recently cleaned out a storage shed and I lost track of the loads of paperback books I'd accumulated through the years.

DeleteI've always been the traveler so I haven't put a lot of money into the house or things for it. But even I go through my closets & files and reorganize a couple of times a year. Like you, I always do feel a little lighter too.

DeleteI save books. Hate to part with them. They're like old friends. Is that the plight of the writer? You've inspired me to lighten my load!
ReplyDeleteBut not today. :)

DeleteI struggle with cleaning out, and I’ve passed that on to our kids! I have plans to clean out our storage room this summer but I haven’t a clue how to do it!!

DeleteI hear you, Roxanne! Problem is, when I try the Marie Kondo approach, too many things spark just enough joy that I can't let them go. And we also have boxes of old financial records we really need to shred somewhere. Project Guy is on the lookout for one of those community shredding events.
