Sherillynn's Journal, 05 March 2017

Yesterday I took another truckload of things to be donated. I uncluttered 12 bags. Only one to the trash and the rest to the thrift shop. Today I will work on the next room. It is liberating but embarrassing. How embarrassing that I have so much stuff that I won't even miss the almost 40 bags I've already sorted through. We live in a disposable world where I have fallen into that trap of NEEDING MORE MORE MORE. Some of that stuff has literally moved across the country with me for the past 40+ years. I finally let go of much of it.

I also got rid of about 6 or 8 bags of size 22 clothing that was too big and since I don't want to have any incentive to get that large again, I got rid of the clothing that could trap me into thinking it is OK. It was exhilarating to pack it up and empowering to get it gone. I also found several pairs of 18 jeans and pants and just a few in 16 so I did save them. 18 is coming soon as my size 20s are getting baggy but 18 isn't quite comfortable so I will go through this exercise at least one more time.

I wish I could get my husband to help but he doesn't part with anything. EVER. It is frustrating to live like this with clutter all over but I keep my areas clean and clutter free. The rest isn't my problem.

Another pound down today. For that I am thankful. It has been too windy and bitter cold to walk outside. My poor puppy misses the activity and so do I. This week should be better and with the better weather, my attitude will hopefully improve.

Enjoy the last day of the weekend. Blessings to all.
