I believe that I have discovered a project that I can live with, and hopefully follow through.
Since I have been seriously contemplating the idea of full time RVing, I have thought about what I would take in my RV, what I would store (yes, I would have a {small} storage unit somewhere), and what I would give away, sell or toss.
That is when I came up with the idea of getting rid of something everyday. Certainly there are 365 things in my house that I can get rid of. It isn't very artistic and I had the idea that when I was on vacation it would be hard to get rid of things, so I thought on those days I would have to make art of something that you would normally get rid of -- a paper napkin for instance.
Then my daughter came up with a more artistic twist of this 365 Day project, saying that I should have to do something artistic with it before I got rid of it.
I haven't set any rules for this, yet. I know that getting rid of a single pen would be cheating in my mind, and not everyday will be the 'cleaning out the closet' kind of day.
Since I don't like to throw away usable objects, I will put some up on my local freecycle site or drop at Goodwill or Salvation Army once a week. I'll keep a bag in the garage and whatever I am getting rid of has to leave the house--that is a rule, I guess.
I will start today on my 365 Days of Discarding, and I already have a target--the old makeup in my bathroom under my sink! I'm already thinking about artistic ways to use it! I'll post a pic tomorrow.
