Trina McNeilly is the author and founder of La La Lovely: The Art of Finding Beauty in the Everyday. But it is possible to learn to let go of the emotional baggage. Between divorce, death, addiction, stress, and overwhelm, we all have things that can start to weigh us down in our hearts and minds. Now to get that vinyl in alphabetical order… see number 21 of 30 Things Vinyl Collectors Love.Life can be heavy sometimes. It so much easier with good music blasting out, I even did a bit of dancing like no one is watching. What remains of my cook book collection is no longer on the floor, where they have been for the past few days. This is what I started with.Īn hour or two later, with Adele, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young for company, the shelves are sorted. In my house at least, I really do not want or need more books. A bag now sits in the hall to go to the charity shop. If they are that dusty this must mean we never look at these books. Once they were off the shelf I noticed that the shelves were thick with dust as were all the books on the other shelves. I was fat then and am fat now, lot of good buying that did me. Then I noticed that on the shelves were yet more bloody magazines. I didn’t want to go in there it was so depressing.įirst of all the vacuum cleaner was full. ![]() When the sun hits the window I could see that it needed cleaning. I could write my name in the dust on the tv stand. The decluttering was a by product of deciding to clean the sitting room. And I am going to see a good friend on Sunday who may just help me out with my WordPress issues. I want this house up for sale next summer. It is my day off work and I promised myself that I would get back on task. Shut the door on the mess that is my house. At that stage, and because it is sunny, I go in the garden and read. That depresses me, the negative thoughts creep in, I beat myself up for letting it get so bad and tell myself that I will never manage to get this house clean and neat and saleable. I am faced with a huge task and somedays I look at it and don’t know where to start. ![]() It is giving me a visual record of progress made. Why has this got in the way of the decluttering process?īlogging and photos of the progress is very important to me on this journey. Spent even more time debating whether to go self hosted and how much will that cost and how the hell do I do it and basically having a digital meltdown. I then stupidly deleted photos from my posts because I am a ditz, spent ages uploading photos to Flickr as I thought I could link them to WordPress from there (if you can, I cannot work out how to). I have spent hours exploring ways to find a solution to the issue, the problem being I have used all the space on my free WordPress site. The halt in progress is mainly to do with my WordPress issues. So I ramped up the music and decided to face it head on. There has been a gap in my efforts to get on with the decluttering.
