Happy Hoarder Day # 48 April 3, 4,5, 6, 2015
A journey into cleaning up a big pile of..... hoard
I who am so worried about losing things, missing out on the beauty of saved rotting newspapers and old movie theater tickets....I seem to have lost......several days.
Family came over for dinner on Friday night - and it looked better (see photo) but I was so exhausted for the next two days I can barely remember them!
Yet it was wonderful to have everything in better order - I even find myself wanting to hold onto the neat - so I actually donated a down comforter to Amvets today - without taking a photo! - without worrying too much, without wondering about all the memories I was giving away. (It was a wedding gift, used for years, but now.....wetted and slightly smelly, needing attention to be cleaned and for someone else to enjoy)
Because, maybe....I am learning something. Boy, is knowledge slow! But here's the next big issue - I just learned how to delete old voicemails from my phone - 313 of them, all at once. What a problem! What a decision! What's the issue? When I gave away the comforter, it was BIG! It took up room in my shed, but the 313 voicemails? No one even knows they are gone!
Except me.....like discarding the old underwear that is ripped and torn.....naw, even that felt better. And more people knew about it....thanks to the miracle of ......modern blogging......Now how will ever have the heart to delete these blog posts....in a hundred years......
