90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge ~ Day 5 {Pluggin’ Along}

written by Rebecca E. Parsons

I am going to make the 90-Day Summer Simplifying Challenge happen. You can see exactly why in my Summer Simplifying Challenge & Manifesto. Another day, another box unpacked and distributed. I am feeling really good about this.

A Recovering Magpie’s Dreams

{Coming clean} I have issues a plenty. I love to hold tightly to my things. This is like peeling away layers of onion skin…except it does not just fall away. It takes time. I am prepared.

I dream of a simple life. One that is lived with ease. One where my days are filed with activities I love, not activities that involve holding on tightly to years of stuff.

My Simple Summer Simplifying Challenge

I actually addressed, assessed, sorted and divested more of the bathroom boxes today. The cabinets are actually looking bare!! And that my friends, is a MAJOR accomplishment. Baby Steps add up!!!

Today’s Accomplishments

  1. More small boxes marked bathroom opened, sorted and a large amount placed into the ‘outta here’ boxes!
  2. Floors and switchplates cleaned!!

Today’s Setbacks

  1. I was so busy, busy, busy at work today that I was not able to do much in the way of unpacking. I am letting go of the need to feel guilty.

 HIMself Speaks

Correct-every long journey begins with a small step. Plus, new healthy habits can be difficult at first; but over time become routine and create positive energy. Keep up the good work Rebecca!

    I’m so encouraged by your summer challenge Rebecca! I have been thinking of doing the same thing with all my clothes that I don’t wear any longer. Keep me honest on this one! 🙂
