Downsizing, To Move or Not to Move? That is the Question

@ess77 and @ann59 It always helps to have a plan in mind. Of course, there are lots of factors that can change things, but at least starting with a specific point sure is a big help! Like you have mentioned, at the beginning it seems so overwhelming, but taking little bites you eventually get the whole elephant eaten. Having a place to donate good usable household items is so important these days, and there are many who can use them. I never feel bad about moving and rehoming things that others can use! Likewise I have no problem gifting off fabric for those who want to make masks, and rehome yarn for people who need something to keep their hands busy. Heaven only knows I have more than I'll ever need LOL

Plans are always good, way to go, many of you are making super progress. Some of you are planning a move or have moved and some are downsizing. I have departed with many items, some I have donated to the homeless shelters. I find that satisfying since they don’t have the resources to purchase the items they need. I helped support these special people for years through my work. My daughter now works as a social worker in three schools and has found it rewarding to help homeless children find shelter.
My walking continues, I wait until the temp is as warm as it’s going to get, generally around 1 pm. Fortunately, December has been good to us, it has only dipped into the 20’s a few times but mostly 30’s and even some 40’s. The fresh air renews some positivity (mental health exercise) and at the same time physical movement away from the same rooms I roam every day at home. I even saw a ‘confused’ robin the other day. What fun! Since then, no sighting.
Enjoy your evening, and keep on truckin!
