There is a pile of papers on the floor right now that need to be sorted and disposed of. Actually, it's more like magazines and receipts, two things that I love initially but always become a clutter problem after we get home togeather.
One of the things that I am constantly stuggling against is the pack rat thing. I'm definitely not one of those people who dedicate themselves to the slow filling of their space with 'treasures,' but I do love my things, and it can be hard to give something away if you know there there was some thought behind it or if you haven't quite finished that new yorker, but you will! Definitely. Next week sometime.
We had a garage sale a little while ago, and I actually managed to let go of some stuff that I wasn't deeply attached to. It was actually a very positive experience! I had a bunch of stuff floating around from graduation, weird little gifts that where nice to give away. When I moved to college my mom packed me up with just about everything, and I've been toting it around ever since. It's nice to not have to worry about that stuff anymore, but I wish I had gotten rid of even more stuff while I was sorting. I can think of a bow, some skis, various cables and clothings and yadda yadda yadda that I am for sure not going to move with me again.
My Goal is to leave town with the minimum of junk, only the true treasures.
