who's treasure?

Ok, so to fully accomplish my goals, I must make a few changes. I am still trying to find places for all my precious belongings crap  that I can't live without hoard ! If my goal was to one day be on The Messiest House In the US, or  Hoarders, I would be well on my way to success! However, since that is NOT my goal,  I am on my path to Clean Sweep! This is not necessarily an easy task. Why on earth do I think I will someday wear that article of clothing ... like if I were that size again it still wouldn't be 15 years out of date? And do my grandkids really need every toy my 4 kids ever had to play with? Now, I do know that part of the pleasure my kids had at my mom's was getting out the few toys no one had anymore... but come on...how many Star Wars action figures do we really need to accomplish that? Come on man! (or woman as this case may be) So far what I have done has been a good start just a drop in the bucket. I am not giving up though.... I really just need to make a donation to goodwill a  huge dumpster. You know what they say... one man's trash is another man's treasure usually still trash! I have a whole attic and basement to examine the truth  of that statement. But first, let's tackle the challenge of our living spaces. Declutter is a wonderful concept if indeed I can make it happen. Only time will tell..... and maybe a few reminders kicks in the butt, from those who will be willing to hold me accountable Kimi (my clean sweep artist).
