yesterday I threw out a bunch of stuff (actually put it in the recycle bin) and also put some books in the donate box. Didn’t get and entire shelf cleared off, but it was a groundbreaking moment for me to decide that I am not going to re-read every book that Faulkner wrote- Ikve been hanging on to these books for 40 years thinking I’d like to re-read them some day- that means I’ve moved them to 7 different houses... it felt good to decide to let them go.
today I am going to look through my gardening and DIY books to see if there are some I am ready to part with.

Thanks for the encouragement! I went back to the scraps and cut 6" squares also...
As for the books, I have shelves of old Agatha Christie paperbacks. Not as literary as Faulkner, but I can't get rid of them. I haven't reread any of them for years but no one would want them... old paperbacks... and how can I just throw them away?!
