Today, I got rid of...yay!

The self-doubting part of me. I joined a women's civic group in my city and am determined to make this experience, and the entire year to come, a year of "Yes". Serve on a committee? It's done. Run the committee? Why the hell not?

Today it was Mary's turn and I aided her in getting rid of tons of stuff including but not limited to stacks and stacks of old newspapers, catalogs, magazines, duplicated ferry schedules, (all but one was outdated & expired), old dilapidated business cards, and several owner manuals for products she no longer had!

After a break, we then went through drawers in our front room credenza. Old & duplicate maps, (yes we still use paper maps) decks of playing cards, coasters, and because we are both greeting card junkies, a shit load of those! The ones we decided to get rid of will be donated to the Senior Center in West Seattle on our next trip across the water!

I cleaned out my spice cabinet and got rid of old stuff and flavors I don't like. It's nice and tidy now

Today was more paperwork, including tons of medical stuff no longer needed hopefully! I'd switched to a MyChart format a while back, so it has lightened my files considerably.

In anticipation of a possible move, I also got rid of clothes & footwear from all 4 seasons no longer worn or wanted.

My next project is tackling the bathroom where I have a huge closet of bedding, towels, beauty, and medical stuff....

Sidebar: I am thrilled I don't own any of the items in the kitchen. Years spent eating take-out and deli, either out of their container or off of the one or two plates I did own, I had decided to toss those items simply into the trash when packing to move out West!

A bunch of desk clutter both at work and at home. Sifted through all of the paperwork and recycled tons of not-needed-anymore stuff.

Isn't it amazing how much of that accumulates in such a short time...
