Declutter, Day #6

8/18/2014

I'm on a mission now.  I'm exceeding the daily requirement of items to purge and it feels great!  Yesterday, day #5 I got rid of not just 5 things but an entire large box full of stuff and a small bag of clothes for Goodwill. I also filled a contractor bag of crapola for the dump.  I'm feeling pretty victorious but, I still have a long way to go.

I've been seeking out articles and blogs on the subject of 'less is more' and I've come across some really awesome reads like this one, Becoming Minimalist by Joshua Becker. It's a well-written, comprehensive blog that not only documents this family's journey into a minimalist lifestyle, but also offers up some great advice and words of encouragement for those of us who are trying to embark on a similar style of living.  You can also follow Joshua on Facebook.  I'm enjoying his words immensely.

I also found 365 Less Things on Facebook.  Colleen, who lives in Newcastle Australia resolved to eliminate one item a day for 365 days, hence 365 Less Things, a blog she began in 2010.  It's another approach toward decluttering and maintaining a clutter-free living space.

The two spaces in my home that are in desperate need of attention are my dining room and my daughter's room.  A couple years ago while my daughter, Danielle, was away at college, I redecorated her room and it looked so beautiful... for about a month an a half.  Since she no longer lives with me her room has become a 'catch-all' for things that I've accumulated and don't have a home for.  These are not the kind of 'Before and After' shots people want to see, I know, but it's all part of my healing process so please bear with me.  I need to get that room back to beautiful and keep it that way for ever after.  I can't wait to see the floor again!  Maybe I'll even have Action Carpet & Floor Covering refinish the wood floors that are underneath all that junk!  Stay tuned...
