I went through everything, and gave tons of stuff away. It felt good to simplify. But...here it is 6 years later, and I am needing to go through everything again and thin things out a bit. It is amazing how much "stuff" a person can accumulate in 6 years!<br /><br />I keep telling myself that I will start in one room and just work on it until it is done...and then move on to the next! But I am slow at getting started. (I still have my Christmas tree up! So that gives you a clue that I am sloooow!)
