Simplicity = Happy

I waged war on clutter yesterday. It's January. I got inspired.

I got up at 7 am on a Saturday and attacked my downstairs. I decided that I only wanted books on my bookshelves. No pictures, no plants, no figurines. Just books.


By the time I was done my family room, dining room, and kitchen only had the very basic necessities in them. Couches, bookshelves (with BOOKS), piano, armoire (with TV), table, chairs... you get the picture. Nothing superfluous. A very few items of simple decor. Done.

Ah... I'm so happy.

I'm happy for you, except for the part where you got up at 7 AM on Saturday. I don't feel good about that at all.

Oh, that sounds SOOO nice right now. If only I had places other than shelves, counters, and tables to store my possessions!
