57 degrees this morning. Somewhat froggy, which make it seem much cooler.
Weekend is over, new week begins. I always look forward to a new week (as I do a weekend) as a blank slate to accomplish some things. Of course, around the middle of the week, I realize it is the same old/same old and I'' lucky to keep up! (Not really, I normally accomplish quite a bit on my "pile" (both literally and otherwise), it is just that so much more new projects are added to the pile!
As I grow older, I have noticed my interest in "things" is much less. I have enough junk, so I try to be very careful what new junk I add! We have been trying to get rid of these that just cause "clutter", and it is difficult to let go if items, even ones I haven't used for decades! I use the "just one" method of disposing of stuff (just one per day) and that helps. I didn't have any problem at all of getting rid of my clothes that I couldn't wear anymore because I had lost weight! I've learned to let old magazines go, and certainly newspapers as soon as a new cone comes out. Books are another problem! I have a problem with even getting rid of one book, even when I know I will never read it again. I like the option!
One thing about electronics (old phones, iPads, computers etc.) they make them simply obsolete. Of course, an old iPhone or iPad made a great "iPod Touch", so I not only have my iPods, I have 2 old iPhones and an old iPad that is great for music, books etc. Of course when their battery goes out, they probably aren't worth getting a battery for, so even then at least I feel comfortable donating it or giving it away.
