finding things in keeping it postive

I live in a large NYC apartment. For YEARS I've had the habit of bringing things home in bags, dropping them off in the hallway... and often totally forgetting I have them. NOT food, but anything else.

Add to that the times I'd had to clear out my classroom... and brought stuff home (3 times). AND the time I broke up with a boyfriend whom I'd been living with part time - and brought TONS of stuff home.

Since there's been so MUCH stuff brought in, it became overwhelming. So, there it sat. For YEARS.

In the past few months, I've been SLOWLY clearing out and away various cartons (beyond boxes). Yesterday a pile cascaded onto the floor. I went through most of it. Some was put in other places, other items were posted on the book exchange sites... then there was this overnight bag.

I used to go visit some friends who lived a little north of me... outside the city. So I had the bag packed and ready, just in case. I haven't visited them in a while, so it was time to clear out the bag. Ah, a nightie... and various other items including books. Now I have an extra overnight bag/tote to clean and donate.

I may have takers for some of the books I posted... YAY!
