I have a big problem with trying to get things to the "best" place, either for me to get a buck or two, or the most worthy charity where they'll be most appreciated. But we're having a "circulation day" at my spiritual organization this weekend, so a LOT of it is going out tonight! <br /><br />I have had a quandary about yearbooks lately, myself. I feel weird throwing them away, because some people are so into collecting old yearbooks...and mine will be old someday haha. My new plan is to drop them off at a thrift store when I go to Canada next month, hahahaha, so there is no chance that anyone I know will find them while thrift shopping!!Liinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930216949771669664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204325517681793139.post-66684247603047292752011-04-11T16:02:49.891-07:002011-04-11T16:02:49.891-07:00Liina,
Thanks for both of your comments. You are ...Liina,<br />Thanks for both of your comments. You are the first person to read my blog besides my husband. I haven't gotten around to telling anyone yet. I saw some mentions of Bellingham on your blog. I went to Western and have many fond memories from there. Haven't been back in a long time since we've lived in Texas for most of the last 5 years. We're moving back to Tacoma this fall and buying a house. The move is one reason I'm so intent on decluttering. I don't want to unpack boxes of stuff that we don't need. I've done that too many times already and so this time, I vowed it would be different. This week I'm feeling tired so I'm tackling some smaller stuff like paper clutter and the digital clutter on my computer. Hopefully I'll get to post about it soon.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827447590592014995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204325517681793139.post-73694561986358465832011-04-11T15:20:52.550-07:002011-04-11T15:20:52.550-07:00It's so amazing to start to clear clutter and ...It's so amazing to start to clear clutter and find so much stuff you don't need! It blows my mind every time I revisit a part of my house that I've cleared already. In my experience (and many I've read about), once you begin, you just find yourself able to part with more and more stuff! My favorite clutter clearing book that I've read so far is "Clutter Busting" by Brooks Palmer. He also has a blog, http://brooks-palmer.blogspot.com/. He has a very compassionate way of looking at clutter and the people who are living with it, and reading his book really lit a fire under me! I haven't read the book you discuss, but it sounds like it's been a great motivator for you!Liinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930216949771669664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7204325517681793139.post-29303039399626909312011-04-11T15:13:54.255-07:002011-04-11T15:13:54.255-07:00WHOA!

Or that I could know the square footage or weight of all that I've gotten rid of!<br /><br />Thanks for the comment over on my blog =) Yay for Pacific Northwesterners!Liinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930216949771669664noreply@blogger.com
