Lighten Your Load



There comes a time in your life when you need to throw out the clutter you have been lovingly saving “just in case you need it”…..If, like me, you have gone through all the various stages of collecting “stuff”, books, gardening gear, electrical gadgets, clothes etc, then now could be a good time to dispose of as much as you can bear to part with. I find giving it away to someone who needs it, makes it easier to let go. When your family and friends become fed up with your generosity and can’t take any more, then it’s time to just junk it.  Of course, you could always put the good bits on Ebay or Trademe and make some money.  Sounds a bit rough, I hear you say, but it’s a truly amazing  feeling of relief as your cookbooks no longer peer accusingly at you, because you no longer cook. So what do you need kit like food processors and blenders for? A jug, yes, a toaster yes, maybe a slow cooker.

 If you can’t resist the urge to continue buying treasures, then make it a rule that, when you buy something new, you throw something away.
