DeleteI remember watching an episode of Extreme Clean House, where all the things the homeowner had bought and cluttered her home with over the years were laid out on tables in a warehouse. When you looked at the items in that way, items she'd wasted so much time and energy in obtaining, you realized it was all, really, just unnecessary junk.
ReplyDeleteWe've abided by the one-in, one-out, rule for years, plus I'm selling a lot of things we no longer use or want on Craigslist. It's a great feeling to enter a room and experience empty drawers and shelves. There's a sense of being able to breath.
Great comment!
