Letting go

I love watching shows about tiny houses. They are cute, simple and cozy. I wouldn't mind having one....and a separate one for my daughter next door.

The other day I was trying to organize a corner of the room. That corner turned into a huge project....AND I hurt my back moving things around....sheesh. But there was much more going on in that corner, even with throwing some things out. It became overwhelming.

Then I began wondering, if someone gave me a tiny house to move into, what would I take with me? I definitely can't take everything I own. The reality of it is that I need to get rid of stuff, a lot of stuff.

After trying the "letting go" process last year, that only took care of a very small portion of my belongings. Now it is time to get serious about simplifying my life.

Do I really need all ofbthe shoes and clothes I have? What books will I really read, if I haven't read them yet. Will Ibread what I have read over again? And how about all of these notebooks and journals? Now that is going to be hard since I collect journals. Maybe those will be the exception. See, I'm already losing focus.

It will be hard because I have to decide what am I only holding on to thinking some day I will use it again. Then I need to see what can I let go of that I though I was attached to. What a challenge!!! But to simplify my life, I have to simplify my space. I just have to keep telling myself that decluttering the home will declutter my mind and spirit.

I CAN DO THIS!!!
