Good morning world. Definitely a busy day planned today! I tore apart my room yesterday and did not have time to finish putting it back together. Went to the gym last night, even though moving furniture was plenty of workout.
For some reason my room has become the catch all. And when I have "stuff", it goes in there even though we do not have the room. Some of the stuff will not go back into the room. Not sure where it will go. We slept on the couch last night because my bed was piled so high of mending projects, extra stuff from the night stands, stuff and more stuff.
I will be doing the 3 pile system as I go through the "stuff", keep, give away, throw away. Hopefully the keep pile is the smallest. I have read before that you cannot organize clutter. If something does not have a place, then it needs to go.
When you walk into my house, we have a lot of furniture in our small farm house. Some of it belonged to my Dad which is why I cannot get rid of it. So we make do.
Our house is full of Patrick and my stuff. Then add my Dad's stuff when he passed away. Fast forward several years, my mother had a stroke and was in a nursing home, we closed out her house, a lot of her stuff came to our house. A couple of years after that, Patrick's Grandma passed away, some of her stuff came here too.
Patrick is a pack rat and I am sentimental about "things". That is not always a good combination.
I gave Patrick a box this morning asking him to go through the small box and decide where things were going to go. He just smiled at me as he was going through the box.
Off to the classroom! Then back to the bedroom!
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Just some of our thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
