There are boxes and bags by the door and today was the day I hoped to begin getting them out of the house. The easiest to pack up and the first to go was a box of clothes from the closet. I thought I would take them to the consignment store and begin not only letting go, but maybe a little cash also. Problem is, they don't take clothes more than one or two seasons old and I wear my clothes longer than that. So I had to bring the box of clothes back home. Not good. Lots of things in other boxes too. I'll make a decision tomorrow about whether to have a yard sale or just give everything away.
Also today I realized this is going to take a lot longer than 31 days!
You know that I am a rabid de-clutterer, and I found out a long time ago that trying to "do something" with all my stuff was as much of a burden as the stuff itself. Occasionally I'll take a box of the boys clothes to the consignment store, but far more often I just let the Goodwill or another charity have it all. The feeling of relief I get when I empty my trunk and drive away FREE is wonderful! With no other responsibilities...Maybe consider that just letting go is enough for now?
