It's over

Admit it.

You're over playing golf.
Let the clubs go.
You're never going to have 12 people for dinner.
Give away the set of dishes for 15.
It's over between you and the crock pot.
And the specialty cake pans.
And the spike heels.

That was then.
This is now.

Move forward.

Make space in the garage, the cabinets,
and the closet for the life you live right now.
Let your home reflect what's important to you
and how you want to spend this one precious life.

The basics.

An organized life is a simpler, easier life.

Achieving a more organized home depends on remembering
 a few key ideas.
One in.  One out.
Store like with like.
How many is enough.
That was then.  This is now.
If you can do it in less than two minutes:
  Do it now.

Habits and systems make the mechanics of daily living
  more automatic and save time and energy.
 
This week, try focusing on just one of these ideas.
  Before you buy something ask  yourself what you're
  willing to let of that you already own.
  Gather like items that are spread about your house
  and store them together-where you use them.
  Ask yourself how many ____________ do I really need?
  More isn't better, it's just more.....
  What are you holding onto from a life you no longer lead?
    Sports equipment?  Hobby supplies?  Clothes that don't fit?
  Don't put things down, put them away.

You can do this.
One decision at a time.

Acquiring abundance

"Abundance isn't something you acquire.
It's something you tune into."  Maria Stenvinkel

Enough is abundance.
Anything more than what you need is just clutter and excess.

Value the items you have.
Nurture your relationships.

If what you have now isn't satisfying;
why do you think one, two or ten more will be?

Turn your attention to what you already have.
Let your gratitude create a sense of abundance.

May your heart be full.
