In hopes to save me from falling into an abyss of chaos. I started reading a book called The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying up by Marie Kondo. Very interesting… A very different light into how to tidy up. And it breaks away from your traditional way of thinking. Hopefully I won’t rebound, as she says her clients don’t ever do.
So I started… She said to start with clothes…
“Does this spark joy?” It’s a very different kind of question to ask oneself. Versus your typical do I want to keep this or not. Haha. It definitely makes you look at things a little different.
Went thru my clothes that was left over at my parents house. Got rid of 3 garbage bags full of clothes. Then onto home. Currently at 8 garbage bags full of clothes and still counting. Process is a little slow on my end. Didn’t exactly follow her structured way to a tea. But close.
I found clothes I have forgotten about. Clothes that I’ve been missing. Clothes that I miss. And clothes that I look at and think, “what was I thinking?” LOL. Not to mention all the clothes that just don’t fit me anymore! (Of course, then I realize how fat I am. Hahaha.) There goes another thing to add to my to do list!
Getting rid of all these clothes is amazing progress. But I’ve only made a small dent.
