Sometimes you can do a lot in a day, but there's nothing tangible to show for it. Other times, you can see a world of difference.
Normally, this bookcase is filled with toys and other kids' stuff. But this morning, there wasn't much left. I think we came to KS with 8-10 boxes of kids' stuff. We're leaving with 6...though to be fair, we have plenty of other boxes that we have added.
At the end of the day, the bookcase and a lot of other stuff in the basement was not where it used to be. I have almost the whole basement packed. Man, I'm tired. But it's very liberating to not have so much stuff (out at least). We have moved about 10 or 11 times in our almost 14 years of marriage. There are a lot of challenges to that, but one of the positives has been the necessity of downsizing and simplifying. The less stuff you have, the less you have to do to keep your stuff maintained and cleaned and working properly. The more time you have. I am seriously considering buying a smaller house if the Lord allows us to buy another house.
