We donated lots of things and I still have more to go through. And just because we're getting a bigger house doesn't mean I want to fill it! It makes me realize how much "stuff" we have and what we really don't use or need.

I'm sure it's hurting my son's heart to give up so much of his precious record collection, but it was a necessary step. He's accumulated so much "stuff" during his 10 years in that apartment, but we've been in this house for 38 years now, so you can just imagine the accumulation here. It would take that many years to sort through it all. I'm over whelmed, but working on it, one little spot at a time, thanks to this 56 week project we are doing online here.Yabuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450215380644729572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880100273708763164.post-29417625016298985242014-04-17T06:28:52.990-04:002014-04-17T06:28:52.990-04:00I've learned how important it is to let things...I've learned how important it is to let things go when their usefulness has ceased.

The clean up was horrific so I have a lot of empathy for what you've been going through. A lot of our clutter issues stem from accruing almost an entire new house of stuff that we needed to live with in the weeks that we couldn't get back into our own home while making it livable again. It's an utter embarrassment to me that we have all this stuff when our neighbors and friends lost everything. And yes, I feel ashamed too.Nelly Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439077373278109660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880100273708763164.post-78987703398885305132014-04-16T19:33:49.833-04:002014-04-16T19:33:49.833-04:00Good work.

Let someone who can use and enjoy them take them home.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200423008739661138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880100273708763164.post-41051585924719150682014-04-16T19:30:12.546-04:002014-04-16T19:30:12.546-04:00I really need to hit our attic and pare things dow...I really need to hit our attic and pare things down. I did go through my closet a couple weeks ago and got two large garbage bags of clothes to donate. We also just joined FreeCycle to get rid of a lot of the building supplies that a friend was storing in my backyard.Shai Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625514249141386180noreply@blogger.com
