I am loving this. I cleaned out the top drawer in a dresser in my bedroom, and a small shelf in the kitchen. I got rid of just over 200 items! Some of them I have to wonder why I have hung onto it. Old lip balms which are all mucky and look like the dog chewed on them. Why is that in my drawer? I have to wonder what it is about my brain that stops me from throwing it out straight away. Four hundred things so far, and so many to go!

Another 75 items tonight. I am finding myself constantly looking at things and evaluating if they are useful or if I need them. I read an autobiography of a woman who hoards the other night and it is interesting to match some of my behaviour to what she described. I am finding it relatively easy to let go of everything that I am dumping right now, I expect it will get harder as I delve further into piles.

Joining in! Anything/everything counts:
So far: 2 -- Finally got a new roof... had 2 roofs removed in order to do this. I am counting both because this new roof was waay past due. We put it off and put it off until we had at least 3 leaks in our home and shingles constantly being found in our yard. Whew! Finally done! 6 papers into trash 1 plastic bag 1 cloth bow 187 papers into recycle bag ______________________________
197 So Far.
