Am I a hoarder or creative?
It seems lately, I have noticed a distinct change in my orderly habits. What once was stuff being saved and gotten for the house, either in projects or rooms to renovate, it seems, my things have gotten ahead of the items and projects. I have not enough house to hold, nor build said projects, unless I opt for buying a home with 10 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms 4 kitchens,and several living rooms and dining rooms. I admit, it is hard to let lovely old things go to the landfill, but I simply must find a way to edit the things I am choosing and deciding where they will actually go. Admittedly, many items have been used, rather successfully, and cheaply I might add, to the overall design. The problem is, when it comes to ridding myself of the "extras", I find it nearly impossible to set it back to the curb and release it to someone else with good ideas and intentions. So recently, I have set about sorting, binning and decluttering, sometimes a box at a time, sometimes, in really good moments, it just simply goes in the van and straight to the donation center or to the curb on trash day. I have yet to run back out and drag it back in, but a few times, I have found myself thinking about it.
I watch that show called "Hoarders" and I know I am not to that level, but surely, each of them once was neat and clean. While I know I have trouble of letting these mighty old and wonderful relics go, or stay at the curb, I have NEVER resorted to saving TRASH or filth. Many of those who have come to my house remark about what cool stuff I have, and sometimes, I find myself thinking "See, others can see the value too!". But then again, many a good friend has also noted to me, "Gee you have SO MUCH stuff!" Read that as "TOO MUCH STUFF!". Not so cool. Hmmmmm........
Okay, so I am determined to turn over a new leaf, the thing that has appeared on all my New Years Resolution Lists for the past 8 years, will again, be leading the Resolution List for 2011 too. I am going to do it for sure this upcoming year........
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..........is that some old brick?
