Friday check in

[yukonsally]

It's been a Week. Last night I finally realized it was Thursday and I hadn't heard from this wonderful group!

I put 2 things in the donation box. Eldest Child and I went through the closet and added 2 shirts to the handmedown box. This Child also added a shirt to the closet, one that I had been holding back to give away, as one to wear, now that it fits, I guess? I sent a thing to a friend (I've got 3 padded envelopes left! I'm pleased with this number).

What decluttering do you have in mind for the weekend? A quick pass through the junk drawer, a thorough cleaning of the medicine cabinet, or taking it easy to clear off one surface?

I'm probably going to take it easy and clear off one surface, to be decided.

Wow! That's amazing!

Good for you, using the nice towels for yourself.

the change in attitude--I was just thinking about a post regarding this, sharing our stories, inspiring lurkers..

Yeah, I was a bit shocked at how much I didn't want to keep or was re-purposing -- and kinda horrified at my past self for what I'd kept. Although I don't think I was making completely irrational decisions, given what I knew about the shape of my life at that point. (And I'd also just got rid of probably three times as much as I'd kept, when I went through the things I inherited from my mother.)

I think a post on our changes in attitudes as we declutter more/repeatedly would be a fantastic idea -- I would love to see someone get that discussion going!
