De-cluttering: Cleansing the Mind & Soul

I have been on a cleaning spree eversince the weekend...don't worry sweetheart, it is not a nesting instinct(!!!)I just get a real kick out of throwing things away.

I confess...I am a closet hoarder...Literally...I tend to keep so many barang-barang that would put the karung-guni man to shame. I think it's a woman's thing...and I was nearly cured when my mother-in-law gave me some gifts that belonged to my Other Half when I gave birth to Zafran...The classic!!!She kept his feeding bottles...so those stuff were nearly 28 years old!!! Feed my baby with them...no way...

Sorry I digress...(but then again...I always do...)

I still have Zafran's first Disney blankie (awwwwww....so cute)...and he'll kill me for telling the world about his favourite Barney comforter. I know if I dig hard enough, I'll find boxes with memorabilia of my schoolgirl days...my autograph book and loads and loads of journals.

I also have more than 200 postcards and letters the Other Half and I wrote to each other the two years he was stationed in Germany...Haha...this is something the younger generation will miss out..how many of you will get to archive your e-mails or sms?

Again I digress...

I spent the good half of my weekend just clearing and throwing away stuff...I must say that I did my part in the recycling process too...putting aside things that can be re-used, or giving away stuff that others can use.

And in the process, I felt more cheery. Maybe the feng shui thingy does have its good points...that when you de-clutter your possessions...you get rid of stagnant, redundant energy, and re-vitalise yourself.

I do feel a lot better...but I have a long way to go...my table at school is still knee-deep in mess. ...anyone free to help?
