I seem to have been in one of the longest cycles of purging/getting rid of things that I've ever been in! I guess that is more due to me having weeks of being super busy & without time to spare spending on purging and then periods where I make sure I have time to spend on it! It seems like I've been working on this for close to 2 months now! I wish a had a whole week with no doctor's appts, no therapies (for anyone in the house!), no company, no illness, no errands, no school events or meetings - oh what a dream that would be! But reality is reality...so I do my best to roll with it. That is why I'm going on 2 months of purging and cleaning out the items I seem to have held onto for....unknown reasons.
But I feel like it's been therapeutic...a catharsis if you will. I feel like I've been stripped of all the baggage & have a weight lifted. Gee, can I think of any other overused phrases?? Ha ha. But it is true. It is great. I love this kind of stuff. It is the same reason I guess, that I always liked the new school year & new school supplies. It is a chance to start over new with a fresh blank pad of paper & pencils that have never been sharpened. How many times in your life do you get that chance (well, as an adult & when you're out of school I mean!). I feel like I have that fresh, virgin pack of pencils that doesn't know I press down too hard and will break the point a lot!
This also means my poor friends in the Moms Club will likely see me posting about lots of things I am trying to find new homes for! I apologize in advance for that, BAM! I just prefer to pass things along to friends if I can, followed by donating to our church's organizations, followed by donating to an organization that needs them, followed by Goodwill....I hate to just throw things away!

As you know, I've been trying to do some purging myself, but I've been derailed a bit by this nasty illness. I hope I can start back up again tomorrow.
I love purging. BAMs has been quite the decluttering group recently, between eBay auctions, Craigslist postings, etc! Way to go! I love the feeling!
I know how you feel. I've been purging ever since we decided to put in for our transfer...and I still have eight months to go. AAHHH!
