DECEMBER ... again

December... again. Excessive clutter ... still. I cried last night over the situation. I don't WANT to live with clutter. I don't WANT this year to be like the rest ....putting things away (out of sight, in nooks and crannies, behind closed doors to be ignored ...) so that we can pull out Christmas decorations.

I woke up to some clear spaces. My husband and daughter put boxes out of sight. Our fireplace is clear today. The hallway is clear of stacks of boxes. I can enter my craft room/office easily ... well, at least I can get to the door easily that is.

Somewhere down the road, I must have forgotten the challenge to clear my bedroom. I wonder if my mom cleared hers.

We are house hunting. Since we don't have to vacate this house (we own it) we can have two houses at once ... for a time being. I am hoping that it will help me to declutter. My thought is that I will move to the new house ONLY what fits ... only what I WANT there ... and will THEN clearly see what I don't need (can let go of). It sounds like it will work... time will tell.

To declutter my house would be my GREATEST personal victory .... it would even top reaching my goal weight and staying there.
