Small but definite progress!

[vysila]

I finally got motivated to pack up and mail something to my son that had been taking up space in my basement for several years. It was a giant Yeti cooler, a retirement gift from my employer. Since my son and his family love camping and I do not, it made sense to give it to them. But still, it took me two years to get around to it, LOL! But it is now gone and that feels good.

Also, I decided, since pretty much everything I purchase as gifts for loved ones is done online and sent directly to the recipient, I could let go of my gift wrapping supplies. Gift boxes, gift bags, papers, ribbons and bows - and my next door neighbor snapped it up as she is in charge of wrapping up the gifts for disadvantaged children this holiday season. What a good cause, I was so pleased.

And finally, I contacted the local Habitat for Humanity charity to see if they would take a couple of large curio cabinets for their ReStore, and they will! They are coming tomorrow to pick up the furniture, so that will be two very large items out of the house.

It's taken me a long time to get to this point, but having the motivation to sell my house and move to something much smaller (and closer to my family) is really helping.

Congrats on the progress! A good cause for decluttering is *such* good motivation.

Thank you! I feel like between the future move and being able to give things away to good causes is huge motivation. The Habitat truck just left, carrying away those two big curio cabinets and the house feels so much more spacious already.

Congratulations! It's such a relief. I put some shoes and pants down by the street and am hoping someone takes them soon.

Thanks and congrats to you too! Getting things you no longer use/need out of the house really is a huge relief.

Oh hurrah! Getting things to leave the house is such a win :-)

[vysila]

Oh my yes! Decluttering is one thing (a big thing) but actually getting them out of the house is next level joy. The truck just left, carrying away those two big curio cabinets and I am so relieved.
