Here I am, at it again, determined to keep going on the purge that
started August 20, 2012 when I got rid of piggy banks. My plan back then was to
let go of something every day for a year. Well, what kind of sensible plan was
that? Not very, although today I am at day 194, over half way through. It was a
year ago minus a day that I posted Day 193/365.
Three years later and we are still in the same house, with no intention
to move from this place, although we are now three years older--mid-seventies.
Although my mother lived to be 101*, I’m not planning on that, nor can I trust
that it will happen.
All the stuff in this house doesn’t
bother my husband, who says we can get out of here in three months if we have
to; but it weighs heavily on me, so I’m the one who has to get going.
Today it is books and puzzles. Perfect timing because the church fair is
Saturday. Here goes a carload.
* My excuse for not keeping up the daily purge is that I was
writing a book about my mother and me. The Story of My Hundred Year Old
Mother and Me. You can check it out on Amazon. Just key in “Very Grateful.”

This morning it was off to the church to
dump two carloads of white elephants for Saturday’s fair. Most of it was stuff
my husband had accumulated over the summer from the town’s put-and –take, but
some were things that I had boxed and bagged over the past year.
