There sure are lots of responses on this thread. I guess most of us are tired of taking care of more than we need!
Well, I didn't try on clothes today. I did start going through books on the right bookcase in the living room. I have "gifted" about a dozen for Goodwill. Then I tackled a stack of really old history magazines. I tore out a handful of articles and the rest went to be recycled.
I asked DH to review a couple of books from the history shelf and he wants to reread the books. Tomorrow, I will go through the other bookcase next to the fireplace. DH is so good at purging stuff as he goes along. I seem to be the slow learner :-)
What I must realize that much will be accomplished if I keep doing this task regularly :) :) :) Thanks for your support....
