Survey #166 Response from Christine
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Briefly describe who will benefit from your efforts to declutter and get organized, and how they’ll benefit. Think about members of your household, but also about the larger world—e.g., the people who’ll buy your stuff at a garage sale, the shelter residents who’ll get your donations, the next generation of family who’ll carry a lighter load, and so on. | Mostly right now just doing it for my family and myself. Having less is beginning to simplify every area of my house. It is easier to clean and easier to keep clean. I have a ways to go but my family and I are benefiting already from my getting rid of so much. My mood has changed as well. |
| Tell us about a memory of a person or incident from the formative years of your life that influenced your attitudes and emotions about belongings, clutter, organizing, or any related subject. (For example: “Grandma’s house was packed to the rafters with stuff.”) | I remember lots of nicknacks growing up. My single dad whom I lived with hating to dust, but I recall lots of little figurines on shelves, no wonder he hated to dust. |
| What is the strongest memory to which you feel connected by way of an object, such as a souvenir, photo, or keepsake? | My grandmother’s antique comfy rocking chair and ottoman. I have had it sense she died in the late 90’s. It was very dated with green and orange colors and a skirt. I just finally this last fall painted it and had it reupholstered by a shop nearby, a $225 update well worth the money. I sit in this chair every morning reading my Bible and drinking my coffee. It now fits my decor and I love. I think my daughter is waiting for me to die so it can be hers! |
