Another thing I have to mention. I usually get my annual cleaning done by now, but I was lagging this year. It's like going to the dentist...you know you gotta go, but you just keep postponing it. You know how that is...you have all these goals/plans and you get so psyched to do whatever it is, but you end up doing what you always do instead.
Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them.
Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976)
Anyhow, I spent the past weekend cleaning out my walk-in closet. That thing is filled with stuff I don't use and never will use again. But hey, got it done. Yay me! I also cleaned out my cabinets/drawers from the master/guest rooms. It felt so good getting things cleaned and organized. Do you ever get the feeling that when you clean, it somehow transcends to your life in general? I always feel so much better about life after I do a serious cleaning. In cleaning...you remove all the crap that has been taking up space, things ya don't need/want...and you only keep things that are valuable. And it's a good feeling to know that you've gotten rid of things that have just been weighing you down. Lastly, the removal of all that junk certainly improves the clarity of your surroundings and situation. Call me analytical, but there must be something to it though.
So, now I have 6 big bags of clothes that I will be donating to St. Vincent De Paul or Goodwill or both. There's actually some decent stuff in there...a lot of nice clothes that are just too small for me (60% due to shrinkage from the dryer). I know...what the??? Most of them are just a little tight on me. Maybe I should check if my nieces want anything from the collection I have gathered up.
