You never know when a quiet little day can turn into an opportunity for decluttering. It was my day off and as I was settling down for a lazy girl nap, a pal texted that she was in the neighbourhood. My lazy afternoon turned into a lovely visit with coffee, cheese and crackers, and delightful conversation.
I gave her two blouses that looked terrible on me and fit her perfectly. She helped me finally part with a pair of Rockport boots that hurt my feet. I felt that they should be comfortable and just couldn’t accept that they had failed me. Same with my worn Converse sneakers that always pinched my baby toes. She also confirmed that my white blazer made me resemble an uptight waiter. I got rid of a skirt I’ll never wear, a dress that is too tight and a coat that always made me feel like I had a small head whenever I wore it.
It was a double lesson kind of day. I need to get rid of the things in my closet that I’ll never wear, and spend more time with people I love. Rather than amassing clutter I should keep my priorities front and centre. One of those priorities is more connection with those I love, less time with stuff that is meaningless. Mission accomplished for today…
