Spent the day sorting out cupboards, drawers and table tops, making decisions about what to keep and what to throw away. Ably assisted by my son, who was ruthless in his decision-making on my behalf! Fortunately all the decisions were correct, and we managed to cart away more than a bootload of stuff to the dump where it will be recycled by those who can make use of it. Curtains, video recorders, laptops and bags, old clothes, about a hundred sets of earphones (the ones you get every time you upgrade your phone), various cords and adaptors for equipment long since departed, as well as the handrails from the bathroom which is currently being revamped.
While we are by no means near the end of the clutter clearing, it helps to clear the mind of ancient clutter as well and make way for new ideas and new beginnings. Every day is a new beginning and you can't progress if the old is holding you back. There can be no place for sentimentality - fortunately that is not something I suffer from - as this is the thing that prevents most people from clearing the clutter.
The next thing to clear is my desk with all the office work - now that is something I could happily put off forever!
