It was going to be thirty days of unloading, but then I realized that August has thirty-one days. I will carry on. In fact, I think I will carry on beyond the month long challenge. There is more to purge. Of course, if I had followed The Minimalist’s thirty day challenge I would have been challenged out of all my clutter. I took the easy route, I’ll admit it. I’m a half-assed minimalist at best, but a half-assed minimalist is better off than a full on hoarder, non? On the other hand, if you are going to do something, you should do it right. Wholeheartedly with commitment and gusto, not declutter one lousy hair tie at a time. On the other hand, even if the process is slow, I’m still on the path, right? Perhaps I will be the tortoise of minimalists, rather than the hare, but if I eventually cross the minimalist finishing line, it’s all good, right?
Therefore, in the spirit of being a tortoise-like minimalist, I offer this as my declutter item of the day:
It’s a nose whistle. I bought a few. I couldn’t think of anything more awesome than a device that could let me play my nose like an instrument, but alas, I never mastered the art. It is hardly a significant item, barely takes up any space, but it’s leaving and that’s the most important thing.
