This is an ongoing process for me. I'm getting better about eliminating STUFF and detaching from the unnecessary...

I'm also getting gooder at not bringing more stuff in...

And I paper purge bi weekly when I recycle...

Now if my kid would do the same

I am still working on it. I have made some positive moves forward, but still have things I need to sort through and discard in one fashion or the other. I have a load of clothing heading out tomorrow.

I got rid of ALOT of stuff when we moved last year. I told myself I wanted to downsize and simplify our life and I have done really good not bringing any more stuff in the new house. But some people tell me I'm over doing it because I don't even want all the pictures hanging on the walls here that we had at our old place...... I have them in a closet in the spare room. I just like the bare, uncluttered walls. I'm also doing a lot more reading online instead of buying books, even tho I prefer to hold a paperback book in my hands!! I don't really have the room for a bunch of books , so they are in a big storage bin in our shed. We do recycle, and I take stuff to Goodwill when I have it. We donated our old furniture to a shelter for homeless Veterans. I'm only hanging on to the pictures in the closet because my spouse won't let me toss them out! LOL!
