I will save the world another day. Today is about saving myself. Yes, I still try hard and recycle but I just refused to re-home or make use of a roughly 10 piece stack of post its that I found lying on the floor. The bottom one was gritty and the adhesive part full of sand and non-sticking by now. I know the rest were just fine, but I CAN NOT KEEP IT ALL! I have more post its that I will be able to use in this life's time, especially if I keep going at the current rate of 3-4/year. The only way to part with this hoard is to let go of things that seem useful to me and to refuse to be responsible for re-homing them.
surface of the day: kitchen counter
5 a day: 10 pack of greeting cards, tupper ware containers, photo album, can opener (all off to homes where they will be loved an cherished)
Realizing I was a hoarder was both a shock and a relief. A shock, because nobody wants to have a mental disorder. A relief, because my situation finally had a name. I found people who could relate. Knowing the problem helps solving it. I can step aside and look at the situation from a more neutral point of view. Why am I blogging about it? 2 reasons. 1. Putting my thoughts into words helps me think more clearly. 2. If this helps just one, who is like me, see the light it was more than worth it!
