Today I realized the age of an appliance we were given as a wedding gift. It's a homemade ice-cream maker in my favorite color, pink. We've used it many times through the 25+ years. The last couple of times I tried to make ice-cream, it didn't work so well, so I've avoided trying for maybe..two years.
When we look at our possessions, sometimes we forget how much time has passed. Is there a more efficient model now? Does this even work? Do I fit into it anymore? Is it even in style? Time truly seems to pass more quickly with each year. In order to declutter, sometimes we need to examine "stuff" with more than a casual glance or "Oh, there's the ice-cream maker."
Today I'm getting rid of the ice-cream maker, mostly since it doesn't work well anymore. Ask yourself pointed questions about your stuff today. It may help you let go.
