Wow! I've been sorting and packing and just generally decluttering and it feels fab! Gotten rid of a lot of stuff, gave to Salvation Army, Freecycling...it just feels lighter around here.

I think I'm enjoying it too much.

This downsizing is going to be good for us, I know it. Truly, I think a lot of my stress and depression issues related to this house and the state of it. It wasn't dirty, or really all *that* messy, just cluttered. A big clue was the fact I'd get all antsy or irritable and it would magically disappear when I'd step outside. I think my soul was feeling cluttered.

Well, off to bed. I'm holding a sweet sleeping Lily who's breath smells of warm buttermilk. Nuttin' better than this....
