Wreaking Order

[qos]

Now that I've had breakfast, done LJ, and generally enjoyed the benefits of an hour or so of quiet alone time, it's time to get busy.

I did get the big storage bin cleared out yesterday, but now the small percentage of the contents which I'm keeping are in stacks on my dining room table. Next chore is to head up to Office Depot to buy more hanging files and manila folders to get them put away. Then I get to tackle the bin that's been sitting under the corner desk in my living room.

Also on today's "must do" list is a grocery run.

On the "Hope to Do" list is a trip to Half Price Books with yet more I-don't-need-these-anymore books. There are already two bags in the trunk of my car, and as I ate breakfast this morning I saw more on the shelves that can go.

I keep saying this, but as the actual moving date keeps moving closer (even though I don't know exactly when it will be), I feel more and more urgent that I do not want to carry forward with me anything that truly does not belong in the next stage of my life. It's time to let go of a lot of old things that are neither loved nor useful. Time to make room for more blessings, more energy, more space in my life and in my home. I want to have room to live my current life, not be confined by the relics of my past.

That's a very good way to think of it. I'll have to apply that!

Good luck with your move!

That makes a lot of sense. I'm glad you're moving into a new space and getting a clean start.
