On Monday I brought my lunch, did 10 minutes of floor exercises and 25 minutes on the stationery bike, and I went through every item on my kitchen counter and am parting with a lot of crap-- including but not limited to expired coupons and OTC meds.
I wish I could honestly report that my home is looking so much better since January 1, but I'd be lying. The important thing is that I'm keeping this promise to myself and am improving my personal and financial environment.
I'm learning that's a key part of this -- to remind myself that deserve better surroundings. I'm the only one who can make this happen, and so I shall.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I had a pep-talk with myself this weekend about my clutter. You were part of my inspiration and plan. So, keep up the good work--you've got a follower!!

You don't see it yet, but you will, because of the progress you're making. I'm proud of you!
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to clutter, pretty much the first thing that happens is that everything gets worse. Once you have less stuff around, and start putting things away, the improvement is VERY dramatic. Hang in there.
