Simplify simplify simplify

Every day this week I am taking two garbage bags into every room of my house and creating a small tornado. In one bag I am putting garbage, and, in the other, stuff for charity. I did this for 10 minutes this morning and filled an entire bag with clothes to give away. I had been hanging on to them for years. My hoarding was a result of seeing how expensive new clothes were here. No TJ's!! It was like I went back to living in the Depression-era.

When I have my way I wear the same stuff over and over again. I realize that no one really notices but me. Or at least I don't notice other peoples' clothes that much. So I am giving those clothes away. Now my life feels lighter and my thoughts are clearer.

Funny how that works. You feel richer when you have less stuff.
