Spring Cleaning - SERIOUSLY!!!

From the  past - Spring 2012 - Getting ready to move again - somewhere along my Great Circle. Destination? A SECRET for now...

In my efforts to MOVE ON this time, a major downsizing has been occurring. Not since I got rid of my big house of furniture, cars, business wardrobes, library of books, etc. have I been so serious about going thru my belongings. (I call them “belongings” in a very loving way - but truthfully, the accurate word is “stuff”.)

While I can take credit for detaching mentally and emotionally from the past, I have been totally surrounded by it physically. Box after box of old papers, clothes from the 1980’s, ancient towels, even more ancient dishes, decades of bank statements… Just as this house has "absorbed" all the things from my "out West" storage bin, I am pulling boxes out from closets, under the bed, behind doors, and from every corner of every room. After one month of going thru it all, making many trips to the recycle center and collecting items for a mother of all yard sales, I was beginning to see progress.

Last night I woke up to an epiphany - I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN A STORAGE BIN!!! , AND if I do not continue to find more of these “belongings” to discard, my new destination will be ANOTHER storage bin. What a pity to work so hard to make a needed change and keep holding on to the “stuff”. This time - the stuff is going - BUT NOT WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
