I got a long low box with hand holes in it, put in a bunch of books to return to DD, which I'm not interested in reading or I've read them. Also, I put in some of my books, for her to read, to let me know what she thought. One was written by her Dfather's name, but DH isn't an author!
I wanted her to read the book, to see what she thought about it. It's an old one.
I put another top into the ARC recycle boxes. I cannot think of anymore clothes to donate. I had a glint of an idea, to get rid of my crohook and leaflets, which go with it, but then again, it's something I'd like to learn to do someday, so decided not to get rid of them.
I may go through my pattern leaflets, in my files, to donate. I have so many given to me by Dmom, Dfriends, some I've bought, but they're outdated or too complicated or I don't like them. I have a Gooseberry Patch book I may donate, too, as I don't do Christmas crafting items, nor do I bake for Christmas, unless it's a mix kit of cookies to bake. I want to get my house decluttered so it's easier to find items, so I have peace of mind, and feel more relaxed as I go from room to room. It's not "really bad," but there are spots that I KNOW are there, so clutter just has to go.
Once, a mental health professional told me: "An orderly environment yields an orderly mind," when she found out how I'd donated 5 - 6 big garbage trash bags full of clothes to the Senior Center's rummage sale store to raise money for their Senior free lunch program.
It was so hard to "let go", but why was I keeping clothes 3 sizes larger than me? To grow back INTO them?????? I THINK NOT! So out they went to bless others much more than they blessed me.
I believe decluttering is good for the mind and soul.
