Between watching two episodes of Hoarders last night, and reading threads here today, I have become so motivated. I read "Rory year's update," "Retitled:Difference between squalor and Hoarding," and "No Hoarding? Then why the squalor?" I have been online since 7AM, and haven't even read my usual online newspapers. I am pumped!
I've learned that it helps me to plan things If I make lists. This morning I wrote my own "Changes in 2009" list, (and I have gone through some major changes) as well as "Needs in 2010" and "Things I am working on now." I have not assigned values to any of the changes, as some changes are better than others, in varying degrees of good or bad, and they are all relative anyway. My needs and things I'm working on now are too detailed or complicated, so I won't post them here.
MY CHANGES IN 2009
I went from being a grandmother raising four young boys to being a childless person.
I went from being a single person to being a person in a long term committed relationship.
I moved from a large busy city to the country.
I moved from a spacious nice apartment to a tiny squalorous house.
I moved from my own apartment where I was in charge to somebody else's house where I was not.
I moved from there to my sister's home, where I am more comfortable but still not in charge. (Yes, I admit I have control issues.)
My income dropped, but so did my expenses.
Whew!
As soon as I finish this post I'm getting into my cleaning mode. Well, I don't need to clean as much as organize. I think the thing I need to do first is get rid of some multiples of things, and find homes for what's left. And I need to do it soon, as it's now 10 AM, and my I wake up with much energy, but as the day goes on, so goes my energy.
It's been a rough year for both 3g and me, but by helping each other, the best is yet to come. I am determined.

I have been through a lot of changes too, and now that I am on an anti-depressant, I do have a bit more energy. The result will be some major decluttering between myself and Purple!  3g |
