Decluttering

 An Ongoing Process....

During my time at home in Saskatchewan I have been attempting to declutter my stuff.  I moved out of Banff in 2010 and I packed up all my stuff and stored these boxes of stuff in my parents basement. Well, it has been 10 years and these boxes are still here. Hummmm. Time goes quickly. So I have been slowly going through boxes and trying to get rid of stuff. I decided to look at all the shoes that I own. I seem to have several pairs. Shoes are tricky as each pair serves a purpose. It is a slow process. I have come across many memorable items and treasures. 

I found out that I have alot of trinkets. I like art work and trinkets from my travels. There are boxes and boxes of items that I collected from various holidays. I have been going through the house and making sure that all of my stuff is together in one spot. It seems that over the years I have left little bits behind in various rooms throughout the house. For example I find a box of old pen pal letters stashed away in a closet. Then I find a box of my kindergarten artwork in a box under a bed.... it was fun to look at but I was able to let that go. I have no memory of my kindergarten work. So I keep working on pairing down. I realize that I have way too many clothes. Jackets, I love them. I have a huge collection. After living in Asia I also have way too many summer clothes.  What about my old CD collection. What does one do with CD's. They are quickly becoming old technology.
