Like getting rid of clothes I haven't worn. Usually, I hear that voice saying, "You never know when you might need that!" At this time of year, the more boisterous voice is the one saying, "New year, new you! Get rid of it!" How easy it is to purge when I have some zeal and a happy playlist.
I have energy to clean out that overwhelming inbox, too. So many businesses send me email! A tiny little resolution has been to unsubscribe to just one business every day, and maybe I'll be done with them by this time next year. Sometimes I get sucked back in to a company (Sephora, I'm looking at you) because they let me change my email preferences. But I would like to hear from Sephora if they promise to keep it to once a month...
Our little house has a big oak tree out front and our second-story bedroom is it's tree house. I love it, but it could be cleaner. On my dresser I have pictures and jewelry and knick knacks (and angels) that make me happy, and it occurred to me that something I see for a few moments each morning could be cleaned easily. It's nice to start each day enjoying my favorite things now that the dust is gone!I'll be honest. I don't know how long this wonderful motivation to purge and clean and release will last. But it doesn't matter. With just the few things I've done, I feel lighter and happier going into 2018. The Existence of Pity is expecting a sibling, and I have a feeling it's going to be a very good year!
