To Purge Or Not To Purge
Do you ever get that "wish I could chuck it all" feeling?? I'm not talking about a job, husband, or family---I'm talking about stuff!! My house is very neat but don't look in the closets or under the beds. It's all put away but my closets are full and there is no more room under the beds. Please don't get the wrong mental picture, when I say they is no room under the beds it's because I have totes with "stuff" under there, not just stuff tossed. It's organized stuff but I know that it's there and it's starting to eat away at me. How long am I going to hold on to that favorite pair of jeans hoping I lose a little weight and they fit like they used to?? How long am I going to hold on to that half price wrapping paper that I've had for the last two Christmases and have yet to use? And I haven't even mentioned my real organized mess: my craft/scrapbook room!! I know one of my road blocks to purging is thinking about how much money I spent on this or that, but isn't peace of mind and a feeling of knowing that what you have is what you need worth something? As I get older I think more about what I'll leave behind (I know, it's kinda morbid thinking), but I don't want my stuff to be a burden for anyone to have to deal with. I don't want my loved ones to have to decide what was important to me and what was "just stuff". I want my grand kids to have scrapbooks that I made, not a room full of stuff that I was going to use to make them scrapbooks. Does this make sense to anyone else, or am I just having a moment? Either way, I feel a BIG purge coming to the Kruse household---anyone need any wrapping paper???
