Clutter Free Life

New Year's Day and Hubby and I made the trek to Target. We were amazed that some shops were open for business as it is a statutory holiday in the Great White North, so we decided to check out Target. Amazingly the store has already shifted the focus from Christmas to Valentine's Day and spring. We picked up season 3 of Lost to refresh our memory before the new season begins, and we also invested in a couple of storage boxes. Every January I make the resolution to live a clutter free life, and this year is no exception. So, hopefully I will begin to throw away stuff that no longer has meaning...if I don't procrastinate. There must be others like myself as Target had plastic storage boxes for sale throughout the store, and the Rubbermaid aisle was swarming with people. Perhaps it's the thought of starting a fresh life with a brand new year that inspires people to discard past relics. Maybe this is a good time to also discard the grudges, the painful thoughts that plague us and drag us down, and begin the year with forgiveness. Wipe the slate clean and let go of the past and focus on the present. Clutter is not only the physical variety but it is also the thoughts we hold on to that keep us from becoming happy and succesful. A clutter free life is the ideal.
