I dumped the household trash. I decluttered rinsed dirty dishes in and around the dish drainer, which were on crocheted kitchen mats, loaded the DW and ran it. I tidied up my my office desk top again, I put a chest of stationery and cards into my office here, where my roll of stamps is now kept and I tidied up items on my end table and put some things away. I enjoy looking around at my improvements.
On my list, when the boys leave on the 28th, next week sometime will be:
1- To clean out our linen closet.
2- Write a list and collect things for a donation.
3- Make room for books and photograph albums, DD is bringing me on Aug. 4.
DD is downsizing into a smaller and cheaper apt., so is decluttering. Several of the books she's giving me, she's read, and she's returning books to me, which are mine, too. I have 2 - 3 shelves in our home, in which I can put books. I ♥ books. To "me", books are not clutter.
Touch the earth, love the earth, her plains, her valleys, her seas. Rest your soul in her solitary places. ~Henry Beston
