I stayed up all night last night tossing and turning. No particular reason, just anxious. I would not allow those strange thoughts start, the ones that predict a terrible future. Did not stop the eyes from staring into the darkness. Here is what I think was happening.
*I am anxious about the garage sale
*I am anxious about letting all of that stuff go
*I am scared of what a lighter feeling feels like, it is unfamiliar, I only know clutter

That is where I am. I am in NO way canceling my garage sale, oh it is happening. I WILL be getting rid of this stuff!! It will not be the only sale either, I will have to have another, I have that much stuff. I want to get rid of that much stuff. ;-) I will.

I did everything on my list yesterday, I am proud of myself. So here is my list for today.
1. get cash for change for garage sale
2. dishes, quick cleanup in kitchen
3. 2 loads of laundry
4. 15 minutes in the dining room clean up
5. grab a box and walk through the house filling it with things for the garage sale. (maybe two or three boxes)

Tomorrow will be super light, I have to start unwrapping and setting up for fridays sale. That will pretty much take all day long. I might not have time to blog, so if I am not back for a while, have a great weekend all!

I know that feeling of anxiety about getting rid of things. I know everytime I get rid of something, that I will need it later...or will want to hold it, feel it and remember at sometime in the future. LOL It does cause quite a bit of clutter and the better half stumbles, grabs his heart, and does a pretty good Redd Foxx imitation when I mention that something can go, or I have thrown something in the trash.

You can do it! =)

Yay for getting everything on your list done yesterday!

I bet you won't even remember half the stuff you got rid of once it's gone. Maybe seeing the ca$h and space in your house will help you to forget, anyway. Good luck with the sale. I still feel a little sad about a lot of the vintage clothing I unloaded but overall the relief of not having it like a black cloud in my closets and attics is more important. It was just another niggling "to do" thing in the back of my head and it's good to be rid of it.

Really like the 3 pics on the side. It'll be interesting to read your blog post-garage sale! Good luck. And remember, if you get that urge to hold onto something, **let it go** ... with the thought that you can store the *memory* of an item in your heart without having to have it.

Your photography and your writing just gets better and better! (good luck with all your projects)
