9/3 yeah dnancy, dtwins, and all our dshes' and dharriet for doing this remarkable thread!
noticed something: dmom has bought so many organizer containers and the more of those we have the more we collect. so emptyed under dd15's bed all of her containers. I now have 7 empty large containers. dd15s room looks very streamlined now... my goal is to have her get used to living in a decluttered room.
I remember a hoarding show recently and the dear womans home was filled with full organizing containers, yet she couldn't see she had too much stuff. I realize I do that too still. my dmom buys us so many organizing things like these for dd especially and they just collect things.
letting go: understanding that when people give you too much it is done in kindness but you have to let go even if someone gets upset. donating 6 of the seven under the bed containers.
drove to donation place and the containers are gone...
I have to admit it was hard only because the old thoughts "but they are still good, I can use it one day"
9/4 donated 1 movie to library, ran over to the donation place again with some stuff my dmom gave me that I have had in the closet for a year... never used(mine). I also dejunked the basement closet... it felt so good. the years it took to dejunk my crafts and it now is very small and it feels so good. I no longer have the "one day" things. now I want to be like my dsis inlaws do it. they enjoy one craft project at a time.threw out 3 large bags of garbage, and my broken serger
darn I found another 2 boxes (smaller but still 2) of craft items... embroidery thread etc. ahkkkk
