IT'S GOING AWAY

Almost 59 years worth of belongings are headed...

or gone...

 out the door.

I can't even begin to tell you how good it feels to let it go.

I have a friend in FL who collects treasure like I do and continuously kicks to the curb anything that she isn't 'feeling' anymore.

I've always marveled at how she could throw those things away. 

But now I know. 

It's liberating! 

Totally.

I've had SO much fun this week giving away stuff and selling some other.

It was like Christmas excitement...and it was all in the giving.

I've begun sorting what I want to keep of my art supplies...

and even there, I'm thrilled to be getting rid of so many things that I've had for SO long.

I'm coming across items that I'd totally forgotten I own.

I'm a little ashamed to say that I spent a lot of money on some of it...

and have never even taken it out of it's packaging. 

I'm not saying it won't happen again...

but I really don't think it will.

I'll be extremely selective in what I bring into the house...

and I'll USE IT UP or move it out.

I've always had a bag or box of stuff near the door that I take to or give to the next person I see 

and look forward to putting some of the really good goodies in those bags in future. 

I'm going to select my FAVORITE items to make art with from now on.

No...wait...that's another post.

So, until then...

Create Your Life,

annie!

PS (Once again, I have pretty much forgotten I own a camera, ((CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!?)) 

so the pictures in this post are from about 3 years ago...when I first moved to Colombia...or just before).
