Bogged down

I'm stuck. I haven't given up or decided that this is not important. I just haven't had time to think about the project. Graduate school, a new grand-baby on the way, work ... but I know none of these are good excuses. I have a list of the next few items that need to go and I can't get them gone! Obviously procrastination is a factor in needing to throw out 50 things. I'm not attached to my stuff, I'm not a hoarder and very little is of any material value. I just need to haul it off!!! I think…See More

"I gave a another blouse to friend a few weeks ago. It was an Eddie Bauer blouse that I really loved, but didn't quite fit me right. I couldn't bear to toss it or send it to Goodwill. I knew my friend was the perfect size for it and it…"

"GREAT IDEA!!! I can make a things that can be given as "just because" gifts to my friends and family box :) I think this will help me to get rid of some of the things that are "too good" to part with and give me a "just…"

Back in the Game with #11

It doesn't seem like much, but I threw away 10 ink pens that did not write. I count this as one thing. I've challenged myself to throw out at least one thing a day for the next week. This is day one.

"Okay! So have you noticed an increase in energy? Are you thinking, "If I can do this, what else can I do??" Pat yourself on the back, will you? Gail"

"That's a great idea! One box = one thing. The whole idea is to do whatever it takes to make you feel FREE of anything toxic, irrelevant, of just plain superfluous! Keep goin'!"

Two bags of clothes and a bag of random odds and ends to Goodwill. With 10 things gone I have completed 20% of the challenge.

"What a wonderful gift you are giving to the twins. Having their grandmother as a care giver will be priceless. My mother and father are taking care of their great-granddaughter while her mother works. It has been a challenge but also has brought new…"

Deciding what to count...

I keep finding small random things to get rid of but I'm afraid I will get to 50 too soon and not really have made a difference in my personal space. I'm going to go at it like an auction. There will be box lots that count as only one item.

"I'm with you, Annette. I just filled a huge Hefty Bag with "gently worn" sweaters of mine and my husbands and took them to our local community center. My husband said, "Wait, we've got 50 things right here, right?"…"

Short of my goal...

My goal of getting rid of one thing everyday last week was not realized. I need to get back on track. I haven't even gotten to the half way mark.

Shirt I received for Christmas did not fit and did not have tags. I gave it to a friend.
