| Express your gratitude for something in your home that you plan to keep indefinitely. How does this item support the life you love? | I am thankful for a table that we purchased last year for our new home. It is a user friendly cluttered kitchen table. We sit here everyday with our grandchildren and do a myriad of things- including sitting in poppys lap to watch videos, eating meals, doing homework, art projects, and prayers together. It is getting dirty as we have toddlers, but life is good and the table can be cleaned. |
| Describe someone or something that has helped you on your decluttering and organizing journey. This may be an idea, a story, a person, a book, a resource, etc. | We moved closer to our kids, retiring from a stressful job, to be able to help them with child care. We sold a home and were able to downsize from multiple items, including 2 old boats. I am thankful for our youngest son who helped us sell the boats on Marketplace, as well as helping clean them, buy a trailer for one of them, moving them , dealing with the buyers, etc. we are beyond blessed to have had his help. |
| Describe something that you’re grateful for having been able to declutter and release from your life. | So much!!! And more to go!!! Selling a home and moving provides many opportunities to declutter items. Selling a home with a larger yard filled with oak trees that were constantly dropping limbs, a yard that constantly needed attention or the water system that needed attention, or replacement of aging appliances and hvac. That is a blessing to have smaller yard with a home with new appliances. TIME is more precious to us and moving has been such a blessing for us to be able to care for our grandchildren. |
| 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. | Books- but I love to read and want books in my life. I have donated many items to a theift shop and am thankful that they will be reused by someone who needs them Pots and pans Dish wear Clothing - our next area will be professional clothing- time to pass on. |
