I’ve finally reached the conclusion, after eight months of fighting it, I’m not going to find space for some things I own.
My brother says if I’m not using them I don’t need them, but I’ve already delivered a dozen boxes to Goodwill. I’m not ready to part with anything more. So all these miscellaneous items will go into a box — make that boxes — that will be placed in the corner of the spare bedroom.
The cats are delighted. Boxes! Boxes! Jump in, jump out. Play a little, sleep a little more. I just have to be sure not to tape anything shut with a kitty inside.
Mimi is on the watch for the other one….
….who is falling asleep over here.
My World With Words 
I’m with your brother–we are taking our stuff to St Vincent de Paul next weekend. If I don’t use it–it is outta here! I have become even more hardcore than I usually am!

I’m giving it six months and going back through everything again. I’ve purged a lot and reached my limit — but there’s more that can go, no doubt.

It’s a boxing match! I’m sure you will struggle a bit, but over time you’ll know what you can let go of. I have a closet and know it’s time to discard those things I haven’t touched in 5 years!

Yes, five years would be a good marker! Still, some things remain difficult to let go of permanently. But I will do it…soon!
