I took two car loads of rummage to church for our sale next weekend. It was a relief to get rid of stuff, but there’s SO MUCH MORE!!!!!!! One day I’m going to need to have a very small amount of stuff. I’m thinking a carload would be still be a lot to take with me when I enter novitiate. And after taking two car loads to church I still have a two bedroom apartment full of random crap. Suppose the only thing to do is to keep chipping away at it. Just like I keep chipping away at my debt.
Alas .. at least I don’t buy things anymore. But can someone tell me why I had not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, but 7 black purses? All pretty much the same style with very slight variations. What was I thinking? No wonder I’m in debt.

susan, i am wondering how much you need to whittle down to?
watching you go through this process is making me painfully aware of all the *stuff* i have. makes me yearn for a yard sale (so i can use the proceeds to buy more stuff...)
I'm in the mood to push stuff out the door, as well. I'm starting today in the Utility room and garage. I haven't parked the car in the garage in months and there is no room for utility in the Utility room right now. (DeLurking, been reading for a while and am enjoying it.)
Ummm... maybe all those black purses are some subconscious yearning to be a sister?
Seriously, good for you. It'll make people happy and raise some funds for your church in the process.
I hear you. We took 3 carloads to the Knights of Columbus Junque Sale this past weekend and 1 carload to the Pro-Life thrift store. And only last fall, we took numerous carloads to the Parish Bazaar ... and yes, we still have so much stuff! I have hopes that if we just keep donating AND stop buying things, in about ten years or so, we might actually become uncluttered.
