There are two lessons for me to learn about the title of this post.
1. Simplifying your home and life eventually saves you lots of time because you can find items when you need them. You don't waste time searching.
2. All the angst of wondering whether to keep something or not comes into play. A friend and I were talking about this yesterday. If I give something away that a couple years later I need, can't I find another cheaply on E-Bay, a yard sale, Goodwill, or borrow it? Do I really need to hold on "just in case?" This mindset is freeing!
Today I sorted through some of my costume jewelry and got rid of two pair of big earrings, a pin, and a necklace.
*Simplify ~ (aaaaaaaaaaaah!) the ultimate goal! A place for everything, and everything in its place. Much easier to say than do for some of us!
ReplyDeleteToday I threw away (and already took to the dump!) 13 pairs of shoes!!!
Only 2 pair out of 15 were good enough for Goodwill - so they went into the give-away box!
