Jan 10 Clutter

Most of us have lives filled with clutter. We have things that we don’t really need and rarely use. We rent storage areas to hold the things our homes cannot hold.
We buy things, believing we need them or they will make us happy, but eventually they take up space and need to be dusted or oiled or walked around.
In the short run, things may seem to make us happy. In the long run, they usually don’t. Sometimes it isn’t clear whether we own our things or our things own us.
Letting go of objects can be difficult, but rewarding. Once the decision is made to get rid of them, it can be a freeing feeling, a feeling of being lighter, less bogged down.
Today, find one thing you want to get rid of. Start a pile of things to give away.
