Life's clutter, that is. I am finding that I have over-extended myself on multiple levels. In my attempts to fill my social calendar, I realize that I am filling it with things that don't matter. Things that are draining my joy, things that are making me doubt myself and my parenting abilities, my family size, my happiness. It's time to clean out.
I am starting with social commitments. I am surrounding myself with people that I enjoy, friendships that I really want to cultivate. I am working on friendships for my child with people that I want to be around Samantha, children that I think will be her friends for life, friends that can encourage her and have her do the same for them.
I am also cleaning out Facebook. There are so many folks on there that don't even know me, yet I am sharing details on my life with them. It's time to stop. So, I am working through the daunting task of cleaning my friend list up.
I am cleaning out the house, a bit at a time. I started with the kitchen, and it's coming together. It's nice to be clean and organized :) Plus, I am tired of tripping over myself and our material items.
So...here's to decluttering! Let the fun begin :)
Yes! I'm right there with you. Life's too short to miss the good stuff or not make choices based on what I think is really important.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing the same thing. Cleaned out most of the closets in July. Working on the basement now. How does so much STUFF accumulate?!?!?!
