Purging

It amazes me that we have REALLY been cleaning out the past few weeks - a bit of Spring cleaning and also prepping for a possible move.  We have donated, recycled, freecycled, sold (on Craigslist and ebay), thrown out, shredded and given away so many items and papers, and you can barely even tell - actually, if you walked into our house today, you wouldn't know at all - and we have freed our self of a few HUNDRED pounds of arguably 'unnecessary' life clutter. 

Of course it feels good and a bit scary....when you get so accustomed to hanging onto so many things 'just in case' you need to use it, refer to it, something it.  But, you never do and it becomes so much baggage just weighing you down.  It is freeing and liberating to get rid of it.  What's the worst that could happen - DON'T answer that! 

We are still working on it too - at the moment, we haven't done anything with anything that we need/want if we don't move to Cali....so, we have TONS more and BIGGER items to get rid of if we do get a green light on that front - suppose to hear this week - story of our Spring!  Will believe it when it happens.  In the meantime, living life - a lighter more streamlined version - or a work in progress at least :)  baby steps!
