So today, after enjoying my morning iced coffee and a chapter or two of reading, I decided to tackle some of my clutter. Now, I am not what one would ever call a hoarder or even a messy person. In fact, I don't like clutter at all and try my best to keep my house neat and clean, although sometimes a little mess tends to accumulate throughout the work week, but overall we have a tidy home. However, there is always stuff that one has accumulated over time that amounts to a fair amount of clutter.
So, I started attacking my master bedroom closet. I found clothes I never knew I had, stuff I knew I would never wear again, and other items I am excited to wear in the future. It probably took me an hour, but I managed to get through my portion of the closet (my other half will have to take care of his side on his own) and then proceeded to the guest bedroom closet for clean up. I managed to clear out 3 large garbage bags of items to go to Goodwill and two bags of garbage (stuff that wasn't fit for thrift stores). The cleaning high continued and I cleaned out my dresser drawers, the office, my bookshelves and my end tables near my bed. It felt wonderful! Like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Not only do I get to get rid of all this clutter from my life, hopefully a large portion of it will be donated to help others in need as well.
All in all, it was a good day and I rewarded myself with some time spent floating in the pool with a good book. Clutter really does lead to chaos and disorder in life and it feels so good to get rid of it.
