In the personal challenge to declutter and clean my home, I now have a van full of clothes, purses, curtains, and books that are soon to be dropped at a thrift store. Today I found 7 more items to give away and one to recycle. I can't believe how I have kept ahold of some of these items. I still have an electric typewriter. Does anyone even use those anymore? I'm not sure they even sell the typewriter ribbons for them. I can't believe I moved that thing twice. What is wrong with me? Maybe a child can use it to play house with.
Even the kids are going through their clothes too. It's been a great feeling to live with less and help someone else.
Rain and cooler weather has given me more reason to go through items. One shelf or drawer at a time, and sometimes an entire area. The garage will be last. I am sure there will be a trip to the dump following that cleaning job.
I have not even given myself a deadline for my cleaning, but I am hoping for the end of May. Then I can rest easy over the summer in caring for the vegetable/fruit garden. And of course, what would be life be without several flower gardens?!
