Purging

The saying goes out with the old in with the new. It is evident as I purge that I left no room for new to enter my life because I was comfortable stuck behind the clutter. A major accomplishment during this visit from the folks actually began back in January before they even considered coming this way; when I placed my life on display. That one brave act of transparency put me in the position mentally to face my hoarder tendencies allowing me to let this stuff go. I recognize when you've struggled for so long, you tend to hold on to what little you have just in case your luck never changes. And many that know me can easily say if it wasn't for bad luck; I'd have no luck at all. So I keep too much of my past, filing it all under special memories. Knowing good and well some of those memories were even to bad for file thirteen. That is why I'm so proud of me and what the purging has done for my journey over these short two weeks. I've cleared out space on the road to clutter free. This is huge for me, the girl that holds on way too long even when its hurting me.
