Anyway, I have been working away at getting up before 6.00 am every morning, but I have not been overly successful with it. If I did get up early, I went back again to sleep. Especially when I knew, that I did not absolutely have to get up.
On the other hand I managed to eat at home, at a table, most of the times and I managed to make my bed every morning complete with overthrow. Since it has a very nice pattern, I do not put pillows on. Apart from not having any and not being a very pillowy person. Well, if that is a word, pillowy.
After finishing the book: The more of less by Joshua Becker, I went on to The life changing magic of tydiying by Marie Kondo or KonMari. I found that book not only very interesting and inspiring, but also very helpful. I have reduced my books very much further and even my clothes, of which I thought there was nothing to be put away anymore. But even this morning I did put away some scarfs I had not worn for a very long time. They also don't fit in with the wardrobe I do have now. Not with the colours.
Also this morning I parted with my plastic-containers in the bathroom and I have decided to donate my tapping-shoes. Apart from not fitting me anymore: they haven't been used in ages. So I am donating them with the rest of my clothes.
Next week Friday, my oldest nephew and I will bring a big bunch of Sacks to the junk heap, where they will be properly discarded and at least two sacks of clothes and bedlinen and towels, that I donate as well. Most of my other clothes have already been donated.
Then on Sunday the fifth we put out some bigger items to be picked up. Which reminds me, that I still have to order the van. I'll do that (online), when I am finished here. This way, there will be a lot of superfluous stuff out of my flat. A lot of it stems from the tim, when I thought, that things might be useful to me or even make me happy. For a long time now I have known, that they don't. Therefore I donated and donate some of them, sold others and wll have to discard the rest. I am getting good at that. Yesterday I emptied part of my Secretaire. I did keep some of the stuff, but most of it I tossed or put it to its proper place. I am making space. I intend to remove every piece of furniture from my entrance hall. Expet the coat-hanging device. That is nailed into the wall and so I do not consider it furniture. Neither will I get rid of the Key-hooker or the big mirror. But the rest will go and I will have free passage through my hall again.
I like that. I have also been inspired by my Aunt, who moved last weekend, after having lived in her flat for more than 30 years. She took a lot of stuff with her, that she really didn't use or need or want.
If it had been something, that her heart clung to, I could have understood it. But the way it was, she just didn't want to let go. That is her decision, it is after all her stuff. Still I confirmed me in my oppinion, that I do not wish to move with so much stuff. I want less stuff in my life and I am on a good way here. So far, most of what I have got, is stuff, I really like. And the rest is stuff, that will go to a better place. Free to help others now.
I like it and therefore I am going on now, reducing the number of my CDs. :-)
