Parting with a dear friend

I've owned this one sweatshirt for over a decade. Bought it on vacation. Shrunk first time I washed it, over a decade ago. It's been hanging in my closet ever since. I haven't worn it but every few years I try and wear it only to remember it is too small.

But I was emotionally attached to this thing. So what? It was worthless to me. So with some reluctance I put that shirt in a bag marked for donations this week. A decade too late. But no time is like the present to start your declutter. What's the longest item you held onto before purging it?

Linen closet redo

Picked apart the linen closet tonight. Found 38 things to donate, probably half of what was in there. Sheets, pillows, pillow cases, blankets, that kind of stuff. Some of it never used. Freed up a shelf to use some boots and shoes.

Feel good about this. There are a few more closets in the hall so looking forward to dealing with those.

This is the year 2015. I will Cut the Clutter this year....

This will be the year... How many times have I said that? Way too many. Is this year any different? Can I do this? How much shit so I really have?

...

Yes, I will. I will get rid of stuff. I will have less stuff. It will happen this year. 2015.
