A CAUTIONARY TALE
If your gut tells you to throw away an item (or donate it to Goodwill), but your heart says to keep it, listen to your gut! THROW IT AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm packing up my three bedroom (with a full basement) house, and time and time again today, I've found myself saying, "WHY DID I SAVE THIS?"
I've filled two boxes for Goodwill as well as two small grocery bags. When it is all said and done, I want at least 5 boxes going to Goodwill, if not more. Saving stuff is for the birds. I can't keep doing it. I have to try to fit my three bedroom (with full basement) house into a two bedroom townhouse (without basement).
**I can't save the 18 million pictures my students have drawn for me, much as I would like to.
**I can't save 10 glass vases. No one gets that many flowers.
**I can't hang on to the spare coffeemaker on the off chance my current one might die on me at some point. That is why God created Walmart.
**I can no longer hang onto the bamboo placements that I don't even remember from where I procured them. They were ugly anyway.
**Why do I need 5 different mismatched pairs of ripped sheets? Not sure ... they're going "bye-bye."
**Listen, the giant Christmas tree jar taking up space in my pantry hasn't seen the light of day in two years. It's time that we part ways.
** Wy does one person need 3 sets of salt and pepper shakers? Ummm ... one person doesn't need 3 sets of salt and pepper shakers. So, 2 sets are heading to new homes.
It's a sickness, ladies and gentleman, a sickness! I plan to rid myself of this disease ASAP!
