Is thinking about posting the same as actually posting? Maybe "More of Less" also applies to blogging? This blog in particular. Excuses I know, but somewhat valid sounding.
Well, I have been busy with stuff. Literally.
I took this picture the eve before our big Sperrmüll pick up a few weeks ago. This pile of stuff equals the weight I felt lifted from my shoulders when I came home the next day to find it gone.
A long overdue closet purge is another item that I can finally strike through on my to do list. The fruits of my labor consisted of 5 bags of clothes to donate and a bag destined for the trash. Among the items I let go was a top that I wore the day my grandmother died. Every time I looked at it, wore it (yes I did), or washed it I was transported to that horrid day. I should have donated it a long time ago, but it is gone now and I suppose it is all part of the process of mourning.
I realize that I have been heavy on the topic of organizing and purging, but it is what has been on my mind. Hopefully you will bear with me, because I am not quite done. Besides all of the purging I did bring something "new" into our home. A post on that later this week.

Well, your organizing/cleaning has been inspiring to me! =) Kudos for tossing that top. Goodness, I need to toss some clothes myself...
ReplyDeleteI always like seeing how good you are at just getting rid of stuff...very inspiring indeed!
ReplyDeleteI have been slowly purging excess stuff from my closet for the past 2 years...and I think I am finally at a point where almost everything in my closet is something that I actually wear regularly. There are a few sentimental things that I don't wear anymore but can't bear to let go of nevertheless, but they live in a storage box in the basement until I can face tossing them...
