Sure, it's late August... you might be smelling the slight aroma of fall in the air... but if you are like me, I want to savor every second of summer. I'm not a real sun person (to fair)... I'm not even athletic, so spending lots of hours outside sweating isn't my idea of fun. But I just love not wearing heavy coats, and worrying about slippery roads. Now... I also have to admit... I like winter. I love big warm sweaters, and warm fireplaces. I know... I'm contradicting myself... It's not that I don't love each season, it's just that I want to hang on, just a little bit longer, to the warm days of summer. There are so many months of cool/cooler/cold /freezing weather.
With that... I want to mention the fall downsizing season. It's such a temptation to put off the de-cluttering until spring. Isn't it? If you are one of those people, please give me a minute to plant an idea: Be kind to yourself. Don't make it worse and keep adding to it. The downsizing project you want to do in the spring is big enough. Even if you grab one box, or one bag a week... and sort it watching the news, it will help you. Try to break your project up into small phases. Really, it helps. By the time spring comes around, you will be surprised and so pleased with yourself at how much you were able to get done.
