I can not believe Lent starts in less than 2 weeks - boy am I ready to start my Lenten project. In fact I've decided to start early. I've been looking at everything in my home with a new eye, questioning myself - do I really need that item for my life. How can I organize things better to make my life easier? By cleaning things out I will save time in cleaning, organizing, having to go through when I can't find something.
I would like to redo my Mary Kay office - but I have a ton of stuff in there that I don't really need. For example - I have this little cabinet to hold shoes - do I put shoes in it? No, not really - it has a few pairs - but nothing I really wear -- so that will be one thing to go along with most of the items inside it. I have my mother's sewing table with the sewing machine that folds down inside. I don't use the table at all - when I sew - I put my sewing machine on the dining room table -- so, do I really need this sewing table - no, am I ready to let go of it - I'm not sure.
Family items seem to be the hardest of items to let go of. Some are very useful - I have a pie safe that was my Great-Grandmother Benson's - I just love this cabinet and I use it to store my holiday dishes and glassware. Other items are just hear, hanging around the house - or I have them packed away.
I've found this truly to be a good exercise already.
