Simplify

I have decided that I need to simplify my life. I have begun with the task of getting rid of UN-needed stuff. This is hard for me since I think to myself, "I don't use it now, but what if I need to in 5 years and don't have the money???" I really need to get away from that within reason. Yes I still have a box of sewing patterns, a box of keepsakes, my collection of Disney dolls, and some baby stuff I have put aside for myself. I also could really use the money to help me get out of debt (and stay that way) {another way to simplify}. Yesterday I sold a nice bedroom set that I got when I graduated High School, used only for a short time and then put in the storage room. I was going to save it, although I still love it and it is in great shape, it isn't really me anymore, so I sold it! Then the hardest one so far was my YUDU screen printing machine. This was hard for me and my mom because we would think of all of the projects we could do with it, but the fact was, I hadn't gotten it out in over a year and kept having to work my way around it. I broke down and sold it. Thankfully, I got what I was originally asking for it and they are so excited and picked it up this morning! I still feel like I have quite a bit of stuff I need to still go through and get rid of, but I feel like I am on a very good start! 

The hardest stuff for me to part with is craft stuff, because when I see it, I immediately think of all the wonderful things I can do with it. The fact is that I have WAY TOO MUCH of it and there is no way I will ever use it all, unless I quit my job and devote my entire life to using the craft supplies I have. I'm working through the stash and have made great progress.

My next Simplify goals are to get healthier, so hopefully the medications and list of things to watch for can get simpler to manage. Also I want to get out of debt so that my finances are more simple!
