It's only the 4th of the year any I've gone through all my belongings. I've let go of so many hings that I have been clinging to over the years. I feel like I've cleaned out 1/3 of my stuff and given it to Good Will or thrown it again. It makes me feel like I have taken a big step in growing up. The book I'm reading "Organize Now" says holding on to things from the past is holding you back from moving on. I still kept many of my keepsakes but I realized that the real memory is still stored in my head and the things i had kept to remind me of them havn't been looked at for years and I still thought of the memory. And all the things i said I would use o ver the years and never did are finally gone. The book also took the saying "Less is More" and really put them into perspective for me. The more things I had, the less I remembered I had. I had so much stuff I thought that I would use that it went to the back of my closet and I forgot I had it. Now that I have taken so much out, I can think about more of the stuff I have and use it! I feel alot happier that I have less stuff too! I think this is the start to a great year. May 2012 be GREAT!
