Today I challenged myself to give away 25 items from my house every day for the next 20 days (until December 15).
25 items x 20 days = 500 items outta here!!
This evening I started clearing out the bottom compartment of my china hutch. My daughter, Julianne, sat with me.
We laughed about a lot of the "treasures" that were down there covered in dust. Candles of all shapes and sizes, melted and not. Some were broken, others still had the remnants of 5 or so wooden matches melted into the top of the candle (because the wick would not light or stay lighted). Many small glass voltive holders .... I assume that I had very good intentions for them ... in case of a power failure or perhaps to create a serene (or sensual?) atmosphere. Truth be told, I can't remember one time being elated that I had all those voltive candle holders and putting them to use!
I stopped counting the items I threw away (four grocery store plastic bags full) and the items I will donate to Goodwill (there may be 25 in that section alone).
Day one: goal met
