It's so good to purge

Snowflake · 03-25-2006, 01:10 PM

No, those of you who met me know for certain I'm not bullimic.
I ventured into my closet from hell and cleaned out 10 boxes of crap in preparation for packing to move. I admit it, I am a packrat, but even I, the Queen of Packrats, found myself muttering, why did I save this crap, let alone pack it in a box and move it twice?

I seriously need to develop the ability to let go!

In any case, this was a great start in preps to pack and move. As I trek out to the trash bins with my many bags and boxes of trash, it does feel really good to purge! And I do have a long way to go!

Can't mojo you for you awesome clean up! Congrats

WTG! Sometimes I feel wasteful getting rid of stuff - someone-somewhere-someday might need it sometime sort-of-thing. But when you can finally part with a load of crap - it's a great feeling and I usually end up wanting to find more stuff to get rid of. Then I go back to hoarding crap again.

Same thing for me. I think I really ought to find a new home for the clothes, books, and stuff I know I no longer need.

But my real problem is paper. It's everywhere. And I can't throw most of that stuff away until I shred it, dammit. And I might read that AAA magazine when I have a day off someday--right?

I need to purge, too.

Keep talking about how great it is, please.

I'm there with you. I purged a bunch before my recent move, but could use more.

Great job sticking with it! Have a coffee.

You're inspiring me - my closet needs some serious work too.

My office move was great for finally getting rid of a ton of corporate detrious I had accumulated. Including an inspirational granit cube (though it may find itself transformed into a Collective Found Artwork of Tomorrow). It's so nice to start fresh.

And at last it has a name!

Purging is soooooo rewarding. I should write that on a large piece of paper and tape it to my bathroom mirror.

Well, maybe another location would not give a rise to concern among my friends.

And some day we'll create a thread explaining the thing, and how to participate, and all that stuff. In the meantime, I still need to get that block of granit in the mail. I just got the DVD though - so perhaps soon I'll be able to report on that.
