Less is More!

January 13th, 2008

Purge, Purge, Purge! We have decided that we should go out of the country every year.  Yeap it forces us to really spring clean.

We have moved almost every year for the past 6 years and that has forced us to get rid of stuff.  Now we are staying put so every quarter I go through our closets and get rid of stuff.  I am even getting rid of other peoples stuff.  You know, the things passed on to you.  You hang on to them thinking you may use them and rarely do.  I am starting to just say “NO” before it even comes into my house!

I am taking 4 boxes to good old good will and 2 of them are all clothes from my closet. 50% of them where given to me as hand me downs, and I am passing them on and the other 50% I have been holding on to for 5 years.  I am fairly confident I wont be wearing them in the next 5 years.  Feels good to clean out. Plus I found some goodies to sell on eBay and made $200 last week! even more reason to clean. When it comes down to it, you really only need a few things to live comfortably.

Give yourself a clean sweep.  It feels GREAT!
