We have all been caught by a shiny new gadget or sleek new product that promises to fix our lives. I am an Ikea sucker. I am not claiming that as entirely a bad thing. Ikea makes affordable products in attractive styles and easily assembled models. I will never trade my Ikea bed for box spring and mattress again. I know this will rile up the minimal means having next to nothing crowd. I have nothing against those who can weed out all distractions in their lives down to the bare floors. It has taken a long journey for me to admit I am too much of a princess to do that.Likewise we have all looked at an item cluttering up our closet and said "why is this still here? I hate this thing!" For me I recently opened up the large container of winter gear and removed all but one winter hat. I only have one head, right? I can't possibly where more than one hat. I realized as I dug through the box that most of them were gifts or matched coats/sweaters/outfits long gone. I have a wonderful hat coming from my very good friend GR and I must make room in my wardrobe for it. It deserves a spot because it has been lovingly hand made. While it was not an earth moving event I'm taking baby steps in the right direction.
What items have you carried with you that need to go? What is an item that will have to be pried from your lifeless hands? Feel free to share.
