For years now I had been planning to participate in the neighborhood garage sale. Yesterday, I went in the basement to do the annual cleanup. Guess what I found. All the things that my child will need to start on her own are right there in the basement. A set of canisters for her to keep tea, sugar and cookies in. Set of bathroom accessories; bed side lamps, floor lamp, nightstand, writing table a spare bed frame with the headboard and a lot more...
I know clutter is bad, hoarding is wrong, but in my case--it seems like things are going to work out just fine and we will be saving a lot of money. Money that can be used for other more important things.
As I was cleaning up the basement, I was actually preparing myself to accept the fact that children grow up and they move on. I was feeling at peace with myself and enjoying getting things together.
People say soon I will be going through the empty nest syndrome...I think not, if only I plan wisely to engage myself in community activities to keep my self beneficial to others.
Well I have a few years to go before my nest will be completely empty, until then I am holding on to the fort.
