Okay, I admit it. Before my epic "CLEANOUT / REVAMP " of my house (and life), one of my friends pointed out that she found over 100 pairs of jeans / pants in my bedroom closet.
Yah. Draped over couches, floors.
Seriously.

I couldn't figure out how I accumulated so many.
I mean, I only have two legs, right?
In fact, I somehow managed to have not just one but TWO of those ice-shavers contraptions (that somehow I needed to buy at the time), although according to my friend, I live in the arctic tundra of western New York.
I managed to fill up my garage TWICE with endless bags of my things that I donated to Goodwill / Salvation Army.
I have to admit.
I needed to learn to let go.
Of clothes, of things, of books...
(oh, especially books - I may have agonized over quite a few books!)
In the end, I'm super glad I did it.
I felt lighter, less encumbered.
It wasn't that I wasn't grateful for the things that I had.
They could go to someone else who perhaps had a greater need or would enjoy them more.
Since most of the time I didn't realize what I even had.
Somebody sent me this earlier today.
I HAD to post it.
Next time I clean out my closet, I'm using this little cheat sheet.
This will make my life MUCH EASIER.
