This morning I had the strangest urge to clear out some clutter. I know you can relate. It's about 10 years that I have contemplated selling my home and moving to a location which does not require a 2-hour commute. Now, I am engaged and the need to sell my home will at some point become a reality.
But, for the moment, the tupperware cabinet was enough to send me over the edge. I decided that every container without a lid just had to hit the road. But, once I tackled that I moved on to cabinet after cabinet. A wasteland of stuff. The task became too daunting and I packed one cardboard container--of you guessed it--tupperware without lids. And, then shut all the cabinets back up.
The box is of course now sitting in my kitchen and I will have to find a place to store it.
How do we acquire so much stuff????? Seriously, I have a million things with pigs on them.
The real issue is how is that we can't seem to part with this stuff. I believe in the law of attraction--even if I don't practice it daily. That we do need to clear out clutter so that the universe is able to fill us back up--and the clutter is not always in the cabinet. Sometimes, it lives deep within us.
Cleaning closets, cabinets and drawers is cathartic. And a necessary evil for someone thinking of moving.
But, the real challenge is to keep the cobwebs and clutter out of my brain. To let go of negative and restraining thoughts so that my light can shine a little brighter.
Hmmmm--I wonder if Molly Maids is ready for that one.
