On a long walk this morning, I found some "treasures" set out at the ends of driveways for my mother's community "big trash" pick up. Horrified a bit by my roving eye looking over neighbors' trash, I did some thinking. Truly, 'one man's trash is another man's treasure.' I continued walking past the items, reviewing my decluttering and simplifying philosophies.
The thing about simplifying your lifestyle, is when you DO see something in someone's trash pile that you love or can really use, you can get it without guilt, knowing it won't just sit around, uselessly cluttering your home. Trash picking or dumpster diving (too gross for me) definitely should pass the two tests: do you love it? will you use it?
I'm signing off to go pilfer two items I will definitely use!
