Survey #280—Full Response from Anonymous user
| Express your gratitude for something in your home that you plan to keep indefinitely. How does this item support the life you love? | I plan to keep my computer, which was a gift from a dear relative, now gone, who gave it to me so that I could someone with a huge project. I now also help two other people as well. In addition, the computer serves as my link to the outside world, where I have made and maintained some long-distance friendships. |

| 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. | Some of the ideas in Don Aslett's book, Clutter's Last Stand, scared the wits out of me with such, as I remember, of using patterned curtains instead of artwork, no throw rugs, and his throwing away a tool used by his grandparent. However, the cartoons in the book had a powerful impact on me, cleverly illustrating the situations one causes by hanging onto clutter. |
| Describe something that you’re grateful for having been able to declutter and release from your life. | I can't think of being grateful for releasing a piece of property , but I am grateful that I walked away from some very mean people with whom I socialized every week. I missed the social life at first, but in a few weeks, I found better ways to spend my time. |
| 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 a piece of furniture that is not my style but which is also the only comfortable place I have to rest. Every time I pass it or use it, I wish that it fit the size and look of my space. If someone loved the style and needed it, I would be happy to give it to them. |
