Here we go!

Why would I be up early (6 a.m.) on a day I don't have to work you say?  Beats the hell outta me.  I'm to the age now where I practically wake up day after day at the same time.  I still set my phone alarm just in case, but many a day I wake up before the phone ever issues an ascending note.

After a refreshing cranberry orange muffin and a Diet Coke, I'm ready to start my decluttering and minimizing.  This is the year of getting rid of EVERYTHING I don't need.  Believe me when I say I have a LOT of "stuff" I truly do not need.  I'm following some experts on their blogs to help me along the way and I'm excited to rid myself of the things that are just taking up space. 

I'm going to follow some simple steps that I've read such as: rearranging clothes hangers in the closet after I wear a piece of clothing.  If there are hangers that do not get moved, I will be donating those items of clothing.  Taking a hard look at the pieces of furniture we use daily and items that only attract dust....donate.  I'm not selling things, I'm donating them.  I have already downsized once (but it's not enough), I need to live in a clean, uncluttered space that encourages calm.  That's where I'm headed this year.  Here we go!
