Well, I can't believe it's over!

I am writing this a few days late. I fell on December 31st and hit my head and ended up with a concussion. I have had bad headaches and I have been slow and sluggish and so I completely forgot to write my final post. Sorry for the delay!

This is my last and final post for this blog. The year went by so fast. I am very proud of having accomplished such a challenge. At times I wanted to call it quits but I am glad I didn't. I am glad to say that several of the changes I made this year are still in place. The funny thing is that I got rid of hundreds of things and in the end, I missed only one of the which I fished out of the garage sale boxes. This goes to show that we really don't need all the stuff that is crowding our space.

The house will be going on the market at the end of the month. This means that this spring I'll be packing boxes and I'll have to declutter even more as we will most likely move into a much smaller place. I have ordered The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Everyone is raving about it on the net. I will read it and then try to implement some of the ideas into the new house.

I hope to never go back to having so much stuff, in fact, I am looking forward to downsizing. I certainly don't need all that stuff to be happy. That was probably the most valuable lesson I learned on my way to a clutter free home.
