Paper Piles

Today I threw out some paper:

•  old notes from seminars
•  a couple graduation photos of  friends' children  
• a magazine clipping of a possible day trip along with two brochures... the Internet is an easy, simplified resource.  I can look up the information there and not keep the paper.  
• my very cute niece and nephews' thank you notes from Christmas gifts…that was a hard one, but will they really want to see them again someday?
• junk mail that had somehow made it out of the mail tray

While purging, I made some smaller piles for another day's sorting.  

One would think that with all the technology today, we would have less paper to deal with, but it keeps coming.  This is a constant battle for the decluttering warrior.  We must be vigilant or we will end up with many of our castle's surfaces smothered with paper!
