Joyful Living
Cleaning and Decluttering
There's something about decluttering and organizing that makes me feel so good. When I fill another box to go to Goodwill or the DI, and I see that empty space that I can now put to good use, my mind feels at ease and I feel my stress level decrease just a little bit more. Clutter hasn't always made me feel anxious. I'm not sure when or where it started, but now when I see a stack of boxes or a pile of papers, I just itch to get in and get rid of it and I feel weighed down by the stuff until I do.This week, I tackled 4 more boxes in my storage area. I boxed up the stuff I plan to take to Goodwill and What used to be 4 boxes of "stuff" is now down to 1. It feels so great to go back and see what I've already accomplished and anytime I feel run down and unmotivated, I revisit these spots in my home and I'm instantly rejuvenated.
Also this week, I found some plastic shoe boxes that don't have lids and I lined them all up on some shelves in a closet for my husband to put all of his computer components and electrical stuff in. He has about 10 little empty bins now to fill. Being a computer scientist, he has plenty of this kind of stuff and I'm sure he will put them to good use.

22:22, Thu 21 August 2008 .. Posted by gabbie427Good work on the decluttering!!! I have been doing the same here and I just really feel like purging the junk is helping me clear my head as well. LOL I love being able to donate items either on Freecycle or to the Thrift Shop knowing that my things will have an extended life with someone else who truly needs them!
God's Blessings,

You surround yourself with art and music and are constantly driven to express yourself. You often daydream. You prefer honesty in your relationships and believe strongly in your personal morals.
Take the 100 Acre Personality Quiz!
| The Road Trip of Your Life |
 You live life at a fairly leisurely pace. You take time to enjoy the sweeter parts of life, even when you're busy. You don't like a lot of risk or randomness in your life. You prefer to stick with what's known, even if it's a bit boring. You tend to be a workaholic. You overwork yourself without ever realizing it and sometimes suffer the consequences later. In another life, you could have been a great novelist. You have a knack for describing things in an interesting way. |
| You Are a Strawberry |
 You are popular, but there's nothing you ordinary or average about you. You a very interesting person, and you have many facets to your personality. Sometimes you feel very conflicted. Your different sides of your personality pull at you. You are a very sensual and passionate person. You are fiery... you can't help it. In general, you keep your passionate side under wraps. You are only wild in private. |
| What Your Fridge Says About You |
 You tend to be a fairly thrifty person. You splurge occasionally, but you're mostly a saver. You don't tend to be a very adventurous person, but you do surprise everyone now and then. You have a bit of a wild side. You are responsible, together, and mature. You act like an adult, even when you don't feel like it. You are likely to be married - and very busy. |
| Your Thinking is Concrete and Sequential |
 You tend to get to the point and get things done. Difficult, detailed work is easy for you. You take things step by step. Time limits aren't a problem for you either. You work well with deadlines. What does drive you crazy is any sort of task that isn't precisely laid out. You don't like anything to be ambiguous. You prefer to deal with the facts at hand. |
