Last p.m. I don't know what "possessed" me!
But I have a 2-drawer fling cabinet made of fake wood because when we moved in here, we couldn't afford the end tables matching our sleigh bed and still cannot.
I'm very happy because with what we have now gives us more storage.
I went through the drawers.
I found get well cards from surgeries in 2005 AND 2010.
I found doctor info, lab results dating back to 2007.
I found some S. S. stuff I didn't need to hang onto from 2004, on up, too. I found so many ridiculous things, stuff from credit card offers, and others. I threw away 2 armloads of papers, into the burn. I'm SooooOOOOoooo embarrassed I'd "hung onto" these items when I didn't need to. I should've decluttered much sooner than last night.
My idea now, is to make my drawer be planned out for book-reading, word search puzzles, music to listen to on cassette tapes on my walk man, and relaxing items, to pamper myself with. I have an eye mask in there already. I want to evolve the drawer into a "pamper-drawer" and plan to add hand lotion, too. Anyway, it was a journey to discover what Pack rat "me" hangs onto. Oh, my goodness. What an eye opener. I was delighted to find a weight loss hypnosis cassette tape, a Richard Simmons Walking Cassette Tape, and one on writing confession stories, too. When decluttering, I find things I value to hold on to. It's wonderful and amazing what one comes across. ♥
