Day 149: Closets
Deep within our closets often lurks unused clothing. It remains because we feel nostalgic about when we could fit those outfits, or the occasions we wore them. I realize someone else could better use them and they aren't doing me any good. Size, need, or preference are all reasons to give clothes away. I'm giving away some very nice clothing that I just don't need anymore (and doesn't really fit anyway.)

Watched Peter Walsh (organizing guru) on Oprah this week. He was helping a family declutter. In the course of the conversation between Oprah and Peter, Oprah made a statement along the lines of this - the state of your car, your garage, your basement, your house (whatever) is a reflection of where you are inside...so, if your car, garage, basement, etc. is a mess than so are you.
ReplyDeleteThen, last night, I was listening to some friends talk. One woman said that she was told, "A messy house is the sign that you're living life."
Conflicting messages. I just know that I want my house to be less messy. I don't know if this struggle is because of something inside of me - or if I've just been "living life," but I would like to live life a little more organized.
Found some time and put away the winter coats from off the coat rack. Found a wrap that is no longer needed and put it in the give-away box, along with a picture frame.
