I knew how to write a live journal post in 2006, but things have changed so much since then!
So this post is just for practice, and already I have learned (or just confirmed my suspicion) thar I need to do this from a computer, and not from my phone.
Also frustrating, if press enter twice I have to add a new block.
See? I’ve already learned so much by essentially talking to myself!
Ok, now that I’ve got that awkward bit out of the way, time to talk about clutter! I want to post daily, to keep the accountability flowing. I thought, oh well I’ll be traveling, so I’ll take a break from ‘creating content.’ But, I am at my in laws and I had some boxes here that I needed to deal with.
Years ago, I want to say 2008? My grandparents had to relocate and my grandmother had made a collection of China and Anchor Hocking pressed cut glass, so that I could ‘set up home.’ Well I was also moving across country, so I parked those boxes at my future mother in laws house.
I was able to make decisions pretty quickly, because I have been hyper fixated on decluttering. I have learned that we keep things we don’t necessarily have space for, or won’t use because we miss the people. I simply do not have the mental energy (or the physical space) to keep boxes of stuff at my mother in laws house. I did keep the gravy boat, and I am going to reunite the punch cups with the punch bowl, and I will likely sell or donate those in the future. Or maybe I’ll challenge myself to use them for a party.
That’s all I have time for today!
