15 July 2012 Journal Pages

Still unpacking and finding space in my home for the various things I brought back from my parents' home. I'm thinking of downsizing again. Books that need new homes. A new sewing machine I've used twice. Stuff like that. Having to sort through my parents' stuff has made me think again about what's important and what isn't. I have no problem getting rid of MY stuff (that said, I brought back a small bag of toys that I loved as a child and two stuffed animals. I may have seen Toy Story one too many times. I have three bags of stuffed animals in my closet. Art stuff I can get rid of. Quite easily. I've done it a zillion times. Toys from my childhood, not so much.) It's just making the time to do it. Baby steps.

Kelly, I think the large events remind us that it is always baby steps. Occasionally we are lifted and set down far from where we started, but those times are rare - wonderful, rare - and mostly we proceed by increments, much time spent not knowing. For today, hold on to whatever speaks to you. No need to be hasty. xo

Oh, no, no, no ... do not get rid of childhood toys.
There's so much I can rid myself of, but somehow, what I do have (dolls, books), nope, never getting rid of. Maybe I need to think of the "why", huh?
