Letting Go By Donating!
Life Enhancement #17: Donate 4 Full bags to the Salvation Army/Goodwill (Completed!)
Isn't it funny what we hold on to? After spending the last several weeks of doing allot of "Spring Cleaning", I am amazed what I have held onto. Clothes that I will never fit back into or will ever be in style again. Computer monitors, laptops, and VHSs that I probably will never use because technology or iTunes has replaced. Chairs that will never be moved from here to a new house but have been donated to someone who will use them. And paper! Pieces after pieces of paper. Receipts that are long expired, work printouts that have been long forgotten, and notes of what I had thought to be important by realize after eight are mute. Pictures, actually prints, layered in between the sheets of papers. Pictures of my life in random stages. From one year old to thirty years old. Some of discoveries helped me realize where I am compared to where I was. Evidence of my failures and my successes. I have gained new ideas and been enlightened on possible directions to move me forward. And even though I have not finished my cleaning, I have set a date to finish, that way I will not spend to much time thinking. Who knows what you will discover about yourself as you start purging and letting go of items which will eventually set you free! Three more bags donated!
