I have parted with a great deal in the past couple of years, and it wasn't easy. But I need to let go of still more--there is a wonderful sense of freedom in paring down to what is really essential.

It's about time for another clean-up, though. My room's a mess again. I read the edition of this book that he did for teens this spring, and I loved it! It’s about time for another clean-up, though.

I loved his book, "Does this Clutter Make my Butt Look Fat?" You feel a little self-conscious when people see you reading a book with "butt" and "fat" written hugely on the cover, but he has a lot of simply fascinating insights in it. It's very readable, fun, and motivating. I’m a fan of Peter Walsh, too. I loved his book, “Does this Clutter Make my Butt Look Fat?”

I have already been through the refrigator and several kitchen cabinets. The rest of the house better watch out. The only bad thing is the house is full of my mom and sister's stuff too and I can't really touch it and a lot of it needs to go. lol :) I have the bug to declutter right now.

We had some re-modeling done on our house this summer, and the spaces that I was forced to deal with then feel so much better than the spaces that have been accumulating clutter for sixteen years. I seriously want to do some de-cluttering! I already had this on my to-read list, but I think I ought to read it now!

The older I get, the less "stuff" means to me. That's not to say that I don't have too much of it, but I do find it a little bit easier to let go of a lot of it. Another thing I've learned is not to stress when someone knocks on my door. If they've come to inspect my house, they're not a true friend. This does sound wonderful.

But it is so much work, and I'm already beyond busy. And what is up with the attic? Stuff breeds up there at night, I swear. I keep thinking that by the time my kids leave for college and I downsize (still 10 years away, but it never hurts to look forward!) I want to be able to just throw some stuff in some boxes and move to my beach condo. That is the goal. Must start working on this now... I go through fits of de-cluttering.
