Purging

Sorry, I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to blog. It happens. For the past few days I have been on a mission to get my basement cleaned out. I don't even have a full basement just under part of the house. There is a room under the stairs, very small with shelves. A larger space with the furnace and laundry. And a storage room.

It becomes a space where things are put. Things that don't have a home elsewhere go down there. Hobby thing like all my art materials that I have collected. And there they sit...unused. What a shame.

Also there are all those kitchen items that are seldom used but needed..like large rosters, specialty pans, bread maker, fryer, etc. those I put in bins.

And paint storage, games for the kids, old jars...well you get the picture. We all...well maybe not Tammy...have places like this where things live but are not used often.

So I purged. It felt good to go through things and eliminate those things I know I'll never be using again..like the fondue pot. And take things to Goodwill to beloved by someone else...like old purses. And filling garbage bags with just trash or no longer wanted items.

Then the floor was cleaned to be painted as a winter project.

The greatest satisfaction is to look at it all cleaned up and smile. I seem to be happy when things leave the house.
