Throw Out Fifty Things

Day One... I see LOTS of things that could disappear this moment and I would probably never think of them again! As I start to pick up the things on the top, the voice in my head pipes up with What if I need it/that/them tomorrow!!! There are many things that I haven't even used yet. The cute guest soaps that do not match my bathroom and the skirt I bought on clearance, clearance, clearance sale, it's not the right size NOW, but it will be as soon as I start using those exercise videos I over paid for (where did I put those?). Unopened mail, news paper flyers, even some things I can't identify. The thing is with the unidentifiable, I know that when I throw them out soon after I will come across the other part or realize that it was an essential part of what ever it is that is necessary for me to go on with life as I know it or worse yet... Ok maybe not.

Still how is it possible to go from the instantaneous thought that I don't need any of this stuff, to being unable to part with a little black thingy that sort of looks like a button but can't be because it has a stem? Maybe I will start with just taking the trash out. I know it probably does not technically count, but I know for sure everything in there has definitely already been let go of. That seems like a move in the right direction, doesn't it?
