Why is it that we want to keep things. We want to buy new things. We want to surround ourselves with stuff.
But in reality, we feel the best when we de-clutter our kitchen pantry, our closet, our lives.
It's complicated, confusing, and annoying if you ask me.
(Me and Jess on our first New Year's Eve together...2008. Makes me happy.)
I've been going through my computer files, documents, and pictures. I got rid of the things I no longer needed. I organized the files. It feels much less cluttered. And, in turn, I feel less stressed.
I can't wait to do the same thing with all the stuff in my house when we move. It's going to feel refreshing.
On another note, summer school started yesterday...and now my life is way BUSY. I love that too.
Here's another thought for you.
(Tower of Terror Line March 2007 at pom nationals. I miss these girls!)
Why is it that when we don't have much to do, we can't seem to fit it all in a day?
But when we add more things to our lives, more obligations, we somehow manage to get it all done.
Seriously, the more that I take on, the more I actually end up getting done. It makes no sense. I guess I just love being busy all the time. It makes me feel accomplished.
(Senior prom. This pic makes me want to cut my hair short again. Don't let me do it...)
But I may be MIA for awhile. We'll see.
(And excuse the old pictures...)

I am right there with ya girl! Whenever I have the day off of work I get NOTHING done that I want to! Its so frustrating!! Finishing your goals for the day is one of the best feelings, def agree!! How are you feeling?? Hope you guys are doing well! Where are you moving to??
ReplyDeleteI agreee, I want to keep EVERYTHING, and I need to de-clutter too.
ReplyDeleteHave you been peeking in my house? LOL - too much clutter.
ReplyDeletedecluttering is so great.. but it just seems so overwhelming.. I need to get on that "spring cleaning" thing. I'm such a pack rat.. haha I envy you for getting it done!
