thought for the day - spring cleaning

Yesterday, i spent some time cleaning off and clearing off both the front and back porches of our house.  Both had way too much stuff on them.  And the back porch was covered in leaves still and lots of birdseed, thanks to the squirrels ripping open the bag lol  Anyway, after i took everything off the porches and swept, i started to put things back.  On both porches, i only put back about half of the stuff that was there to start with.  Everything else got either trashed to put in the garage until i figure out what to do with it.

i have to admit that having the spaces more open and free of clutter has been rejuvenating, even over just 24 hours.  When i walk out onto the porch, i automatically sigh because i feel much more relaxed.  Both look so much better with less clutter.

So, now that spring is approaching, it is time for some spring cleaning inside the house.  Yes, i have way too much stuff.  i know that.  And if you've been in our house, you know that too. That is not to say that our house is not comfortable...there's just too much stuff.  i've already got back of the car loaded up with boxes of stuff for Goodwill.  Other things i am going to try to sell and make some money off of.  Why not?  It's just that the feeling of not being so overcrowded with things will be worth the sacrifice.  After all, i can't take it with me LOL

So, if you've seen something you really like in our house...just ask.  You never know...it may be on the list to go!

Cheers!
