My hubby loves the little kicks I get on ever so often.

We usually do it a couple of weekends a month and donate tons. It has gotten much better around here (small house here, too) but, still, I keep thinking it isn't enough. What I'm learning is that it is a constant thing...not just something you do every once in awhile. Hooray for simplicity-- may it move into all the other aspects of your life!

We "de-cluttered" a couple of months ago, had a garage sale, and never looked back. The stuff that was left we boxed up (most of it, anyway) and are donating to Goodwill, or somewhere. We are in the process of decluttering our life as well as you said. It's hard to do! Becca and I were talking the other day that we know what we want, we know what we want our lives to be, what we want to do, how to do it, but we simply don't do it... We get tired, or we come home from work angry, or we get angry at our spouse, or blah, blah, blah.... we just don't put into action what our heart and spirit cry out for.... relationships. Relationships are hard work, they take energy and time, which seem two resources even less abundant than finances, but yet so worth it. Anyway, I'm a little of topic I'm sure so I'll stop, it's late, and I'm tired finally.

Those size 2 outfits were the worse because they just always kept taunting me that my personal growth was nothing more than physical growth. I can't stand clutter anymore (by the way - I finally gave up my size 2 fantasy). Uncluttered and unfettered is a great choice for me now. I only wish I had your energy...two days....Wow!
