I have not made the progress I thought I would, in the time I wanted to. But it is coming along. I have both attics emptied, and permanently sealed up. So they will now be forever empty. That is progress right there. The storage room will have to have another go through, but I knew that when I put stuff in there. There is stuff in there, that is waiting for me to find the rest of the parts to an item, so I can then put it all together and sell it or donate it. Some stuff out of there has been donated already.
Thought I was done with the kitchen, then remembered I forgot a drawer that has to be cleaned out. I know of one item in there that I have to find a place for. The rest of it I believe is headed right for the garbage.
The house is taking on a new look. Still a bit cluttered in places, but that will sort itself out as I find more recipients for stuff. Some stuff is already labeled as to who it is going to, but those people will have to wait till I have passed to take possession of their treasures.
It is amazing how much stuff I thought I really needed, when I now discover those items are not really needed at all, or even wanted for that matter. Used to be I would regret getting rid of some stuff. Not anymore. I do not regret anything that has gone.
I think over time our tastes change, and we just neglect to get rid of the things that no longer matter.
