Decluttering: I feel lighter

Since last week, I have been working every morning in the basement on decluttering. Today was trash day and when I looked out and saw that all the stuff I had put out was picked up, I just felt "lighter" and a sense of accomplishment and peace. I am just doing a tiny bit at a time each morning, but those tiny bits are adding up to great progress. I originally started on it back in the fall, but ended up stopping "for a few days" because of my allergies. Well, that ended up turning into weeks. So now I am back at it so I can get it crossed off my 21 for 21 list! With what I accomplished last fall and what I have done in the last week and a half; it is starting to look pretty empty down there. Go me!
