| Express your gratitude for something in your home that you plan to keep indefinitely. How does it support the life you love? | I have a blue glass pitcher that pours nicely and is as pretty as it is functional. It used to be my “company only” pitcher. I decided to use it every day now, thanks to your advice. Gail and Ed, about not waiting for someday to use things. It makes me happy every time I use it. I donated my other pitcher since I only have room for one. |

I’m grateful because of the lesson it taught me. I had forgotten I declutterred it and was disappointed when I realized this. I wallowed in the disappointment for about 3 minutes, then chose another bowl. I’m totally fine! Dinner was served and my cabinet isn’t over crowded. |
| Identify something in your space for which you feel grateful, but which you’d consider releasing so that someone else can enjoy and appreciate it. | I have several decorative garden items which are being stored outside so sort of out of sight, out of mind. I need to make some final decisions about what to keep then let the rest go to a fellow gardener to enjoy. I |
