Wow Heather. I am totally inspired and looked over at my globe and put it in the give it away box

We have decluttered everything except our attic this year (not ready on the attic as it is almost all kids clothes and don't know if our family is complete yet). Even so, I am trying HARD to continuously simplify. Looking at things with a serious eye and tossing it if its more stressful to have than to keep. It's really hard to get started but so liberating once you get going.

I was stressed out one weekend and on sunday night, I threw away a box of junk from the kitchen and just got so cheerful. DH was like

"when did that happen that it's so amazing for you to toss stuff?"

I just shrugged cuz it just *happened.* It started off overwhelming, moved to gratifying when we saw improvement, then became fun, now its so liberating and freeing.

Thanks for updating Heather, it puts "wind" in my sails
