Hi

It has been a while, since I have been here.  I did not abandon you, my writings.  I have been searching for a while for me.  Not sure If I found me, but its about time that I started writing again.  

I have been working on downsizing my life.  I am now 61, and going to have to move soon.  The house is to big for just me. Although I love this place, I cannot maintain everything here. So I have been going through stuff.  My life, in a box. Discarding stuff I don't need any longer; Discarding projects half started that I no longer desire to finish; Discarding future projects that will never get started; Discarding part of my soul.  Downsizing is hard. 

Things that I have gotten rid of.

Large Christmas tree.  I have three smaller ones that I can use, but I kept all the ornaments, and most of the lights.  

Halloween decorations. Did keep the spooky sound track 

Lamps. Planned on restoring these, but had way too many so they had to go. 

Dolls. Planned on restoring, and have some of them, but got rid of the younger ones. Kept the ones that were more from my childhood, and still plan on restoring.

Furniture. cause I cant take it all with me, from an 1800 square foot home, to a 1200 square foot or smaller home. Just ain't gonna fit. Still have a lot more to get rid of. 

Downsizing is hard...Very Hard... I kept more than I have gotten rid of, but I need to get rid of more.  

Things I want to keep 

Photographs (family and such)  Gotta keep those 

Photography, such as my camera and all of its accessories. (I did get rid of the GoPro I had since I wasn't using it )

Painting supplies, I have a lot. 

Sewing supplies, and I have a lot of this as well.  I did get rid of about half the patterns that I had, and about 1/4 of the material as well, but I still have More than what I will ever need or use.   I also have three sewing machines 

Craft items, that range from beading supplies, cording, ribbon, bells, and everything imaginable.  Also have Music boxes that I was wanting to repair. 

There is a lot more in this house that I have not mentioned, but figured the list will take me more than an hour or so to list, and you would get bored, if you are not already. 

Hopefully I can find someplace that will suit my needs, and hold all my stuff.  WAY too much stuff.  So back to downsizing....
