really changing things up here in nina beanaland.
and it feels good.
tempted to give away most of my stuff. i've been going through drawers and stacks like a madwoman, and i just want to get rid of stuff. stuff holds me down and makes me feel stuck. maybe it's the spring, or maybe it's reading all about the families doing the RV thing, but i've got a serious case of housekeeping going on.
i'm also tempted to get rid of most of my clothes. like even the stuff that i'm keeping just in case 1. i get smaller or 2. i get bigger. because i figure if those things happen, i can always just find new clothes at that point. i'm always on the search for better fitting/happier-making clothes...one of my most favorite things in the world is getting bags of clothes from friends (thanks steph and melissa!) and going through and picking out the things that speak to me. and then passing everything else on to other friends. there isn't a day that goes by when i'm not wearing one item that someone has lovingly passed on to me. like today's outfit features pants from a dear blogging friend teri, a tank top from nicole, and a shirt from melissa. these things make me happy. (so when i say i want to get rid of my clothes...please still keep the hand-me-downs coming! ;)
i'm amazed at how little stuff we use on a day-to-day basis. we surround ourselves with all this "stuff" to make ourselves comfortable...stacks and stacks of books, and baskets of toys, and lots of clothes and dishes and etc. etc., but we hardly use any of them. i'm tempted to just go through the house and purge purge purge. i wish i could have a yard sale (just.can't.do.it. it's one of my major hangups) because i can't be bothered lugging load after load of stuff out of here. wish someone would come and pick it all up off my front lawn. now there's a thought...maybe a freesale when spring rolls around?
anyone want some stuff?
