Streamlining
If you’re anything like me, you’ve collected, gathered and stashed a lot of stuff in your life. I’ve mentioned it before on this site, but since I started trying to purge some of the miscellaneous junk from my office in preparation for moving to a smaller room, I’m more painfully obvious of the problem. The new space really requires a lot less volume since it’s quite a bit smaller and I’m still having trouble getting rid of things. Granted, I haven’t used or looked at the 20 or so beading magazines in a long time, so those can go. Neither have I picked up those oil paints, pastels, or calligraphy pens in many, many years, but I absolutely will not get rid of those because I MIGHT want to paint some day! Don’t even get me started on the 5 Cabbage Patch Kids birth certificates that are hanging around, but won’t throw out, ever. Plus, I encountered no less than 4 fancy journals/diaries that have only a handful of entries beginning on January 1st and are still 99.9 percent blank. In other words, I got them as Christmas gifts and in an attempt to try to write down my thoughts, I kept up with it for a week, and I predictably slacked off.
