7

Today is my last day of 7, Month 3 - Possessions.

This month we were challenged to rid ourselves of 7 things every single day.
I didn't think I'd struggle with this one. I'm not a fan of "stuff" for the sake of "stuff".
So I dug in.

And I was challenged.
I have a thing with bowls. I know. Weird.
I love stacking bowls. Ceramic. Handmade looking.
Love. Love. Love them.
I have/had 4 sets in my kitchen. That I "use" (term used lightly).
I had a come to Jesus moment and... I got rid of two sets. It was hard. They are beautiful and in my head, soothing. But truth be told... I didn't use them. They were in a cabinet looking at me, taking room, and doing very little else. 

We have a huge stack of garage sale stuff in the basement (we went above and beyond the 7 per day), and the bowls are part of the stack. It's going to be hard to see them go but I'm sure they will make someone else super happy. Perfect condition. Lovely to look at. Well loved. Keeping things is selfish and just adds more chaos to an overly ridiculous life. This is good for my house and it's good for my soul.

This next month we are saying adios to technology/media.
