PURGING

WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN?  I'm not talking about purging food, but rather purging my HOME of belongings.  Decluttering and deliberately looking for things to turn loose of that I no longer need or want.  This is not an easy thing for me as I seem to bring more things HOME to deal with throughout the year.  A little here and a little there.  

We're DOWNSIZING and this isn't the easiest TASK for me to do.  It's doable...just not easy.  I cannot take anything with me when it is my time to die.  I truly want to have a better organized LIFE while I am alive.  

Deciding where to begin has been a mess and a half for me.  I get distracted so easily.  Part of this is my thyroid hormones are off and not what they should be to be at my best.  I've notice that when my body temperature isn't 98.6 that my hormones aren't what they should be.  OPTIMAL matters.  Hello.

To make matters easier, I think gathering items that need purged from about the house and garage need to go quietly.  Perhaps just removing a few items each day and donate, sell or give away is the way to go.  I suppose a person's preferences is the way to go.  What ever is easiest.  I don't plan on ebaying.  

I have been gathering things and taking them to donate just about every week.  A bag at a time.  Doing it this way stretches out the amount of time it takes and it seems like it is taking longer than I like.

Each day this week I will be doing my best to PURGE more items. then I will get back to the paper piles.  I have made great progress.  

TODAY was definitely a purge day.  I'll continue purging through the week as AUTUMN begins in a few days and deem it necessary to purge for FALL.  FALL PURGING.  I will survive and be victorious over this.   

I went through our COAT CLOSET and pulled some coats and jackets.  Pulling sweaters out of the chest of drawers was next.  Going through old records or vinyls as some like to call them.  Movies.  Pulled some books off the bookshelves.  May turn loose of our Encyclopedia Set.  Bedding, older purses, leather shoes, wood boxes, glassware, Santas.  Took to the Basement and found some odds and ends.  KEEP PURGING and get organized.  I have been a bit of a PACK RAT and it's not flattering. 

Hard to believe that it's the middle of the month.  This week is speckled with medical appointments.  Hubby and I have labs for our Endocrinologist appointments.  He's due for a scan appointment and a hearing appointment.  I have to go to the Dentist.  I think that's plenty. 

HERE's to a terrific TUESDAY.  

We're off and running.
