Today I had to move most of my downstairs furniture completely out of the house because my wood floors are getting done.
My "stuff" has gotten old, just like that old lady's " stuff" next door that I blogged about last week...
My things have just become an accumulation of old"stuff" that no one would want, not even me.
I even felt like that lady with her "stuff"...a little random as I looked on to my worthless belongings.
Anyway, I'm thinking of just throwing it all away....because when I put that "stuff" outside, it was as if I had shed some skin, I felt lighter and more free.
Most of the "stuff" were things I had acquired while living with my last partner...and yet still just about everything I own carries along with it, memories of him.
It's been so long now, and yet it seems like just yesterday.
It feels good tonight not having those old memories hanging around, collecting dust....tugging at my mind.
Out with the old and in with the new?
I'm thinkin' about it.......

Should I or Shouldn't I?

I frequently clean out my "stuff". A friend and I are having a garage sale in a few weeks. I hate throwing things away, because it ends up in landfills and is so wasteful, so I try to at least pass is on for someone else who has a use for it. But some things end up being thrown out, because NO ONE wants them, not even me.
But yep, a household clean out really can make you feel better.
For me the decision is always financial. It's old? Needs to be replaced? Can I afford it? Yes? Well then hell yes! Replace away!!
Definitely get rid, it's amazing how much better it will make you feel!
