what am i doing now that i'm not working???

what i have learned by decluttering my house & my life:

*i was way too busy, but i may have liked it that way (?)
*i have always made lists. i found lists i made when i was 8, and then more from high school and college
*i have started WAY more projects than i have finished
*i am terrible about sending letters, cards and presents!
*i keep way more than i need
*i have a terrible memory - i'm finding stuff that i did or received that i had completely forgotten about! (stalled out for a bit reading old letters and cards)
*it feels great to carry bags of trash to the curb
*i love opening cupboards and finding exactly what i need and being able to put it away just as easily without shifting and moving other things out of the way
*i knew i could do it!

as of wed 8/17 i have done every cupboard in the kitchen, the fridge, my office and the closet in the office. a few clean up stuff to do to call it completed...but the trash is gone! or at least in the garage to try to sell it or give it away.
