Downsizing

Typically when the word downsizing is mentioned it causes extreme panic because of the implications it has in the work place. However, I am looking forward to a bit of downsizing.

I am moving in three weeks. I am moving from my rather spacious apartment to a bedroom. Yes, you read that right...a bedroom. As mentioned in my previous post my friends, Jenn and Louis, have agreed to let me rent one of their bedrooms so I can save more money to purchase a house next spring. Now I have to determine what must go with me and what can be placed in storage (or the trash). That is a bit intimidating to me because I have a lot of stuff. I hope it will be a liberating process though. I think everyone can benefit from living with a lot less stuff.

I'll keep you updated on how the "weeding out" process is working for me.

The trick is to move three times in close succession. Around my place of work we have the saying, "Three moves is a good as a fire." :-)

I found the process to be very theraputic! When you start going through things you are going to realize how much you don't use!!!
