I feel like a new person

I finished organizing all my stuff for the garage sale and man does it feel good! I pretty much threw away anything extraneous and trust me when I say that most things are. I even tossed about 2/3 of my wardrobe, which may end up being a mistake but I don't care! I was just so sick of it, clothes that I'd kept for ages and didn't need, clothes stuffed into drawers that have a musty smell and are wrinkled like crazy. While pricing things for the sale, my mom made a very good point that seeing all the stuff you own that you don't want or need laid out in front of you sort of makes you think twice about being a consumer. Obviously there are some things you need, but just think of all the stuff you own that aren't necessities. I'm not trying to say everyone should become an ascetic monk, but it really does feel good to do some kind of cleansing of the extraneous every once in a while. Plus, you might even make some cash back!
