Detritus Update

I have been talking about my grandma's stuff for years.  YEARS!!!  I've read about getting rid of stuff, keeping less to make more room in our lives.  I've studied cleaning methods for slobs like me (still having problems on that front).  But, I think I've had a breakthrough. I sold a set of Grandma's china that sat in a box for ten years.  Since Grandma owned several sets, parting with this seemed natural.  Though it took me several years of reflection and constant repeating of my mantra "I don't have to keep the detritus of other people's lives."  For some reason, getting rid of this china made me feel lighter.  Physically lighter like I've lost ten pounds.  Putting into words what happened emotionally when these dishes went to a new home where they would be used and loved made me feel better.  Physically lighter.  And, I don't have to worry about yoga money for the week.  That will make me feel even better.
