For Thanksgiving this year my family hosted everyone. It was truly a lot of fun to see everyone and to have so much activity and eating (why I celebrate the holiday). It was truly a time to celebrate family and everything I have to be thankful for (like birth control and the fact that Sarah Palin embarrasses herself every week on television now).
But when everyone was gone and left, I had a weird sort of AHA! moment. I grabbed a trash bag and started filling it and didn't stop until every piece of unnecessary junk was thrown out! I had DP&L bills in my bills box from 2005. Was I really afraid that DP&L would call and say "In 2005, you didn't pay your bill." I called DP&L and apparently that doesn't happen.
Clothes too! I have been hoarding tons of worn out clothes for mission trips and other service projects. I never wear them though on those trips because they either have too many holes in them or they're uncomfortable (hence why I stopped wearing them in the first place). So out they went!
This is an incredible feeling. I am a very neat and tidy person but I feel that Thanksgiving really gave me inspiration to keep my room more peaceful. It makes me feel better to know that the New Year can come without 2005 bills still taking up space in my drawers. How wonderful. I encourage all to purge this week. It will be life changing! This holiday seasons just really allowed the idea of living in a peaceful environment to resonate. Hope all had a Happy Thanksgiving!
