CLUTTER CATEGORIES
I have been trying to put my clutter into workable categories. Some categories will get very little culling while others need to be stripped to the bare bones.
I received the book "Buried in Treasures" this week. It is a workbook of sorts. I am hoping that by reading and doing the exercises I'll be able to willingly let go of more STUFF. I read that it is ARROGANT to take TIME for GRANTED. That is so true. I hadn't thought about it like that before. I know we talk about not taking TIME for granted & not to waste it. But, I can see arrogant is a good word to use.
My "December" days of life are getting closer. I do not want to leave all these things for my children to deal with. I want to pare it down so they only have the minimum to deal with. Of course we may move so I couldn't move 100 years worth of STUFF either.
Just keep the BEST; lose the REST.
