Fall Cleaning
A Lesson In Simplicity
Part 2
by Sara Duggan

Page: 1 2

You see, my husband is a minimalist -- meaning he tries to get by with the least amount of everything--food, clothing, car, etc-- I on the other hand am a pack rat--A pack rat who LOVES to SHOP! Although I learned a few things from my wise husband, I am still far worse at accumulating things than he is.

Throughout our years together he has gotten us in the habit of regularly going through our belongings and weeding them out. This was rough on me at first because I carried a lot of emotional baggage to my stuff. But, over the years it has gotten better.

Lately though, I have been developing the habit of going to thrift shops and picking up "this deal" and "that deal" and the "oh I can't pass that one up deal". This led to our 15 garbage bags of Stuff. Who knew that someone could actually be addicted to thrift shop "shopping"? How much money had I wasted over the years "saving us money"? What was I teaching my children?

Something had to be done -- I was out of control. I made a game plan. I would make a list of questions before I went out shopping. Did I need this? What constitutes my needing this object? Will I use it? How will I use it? For how long will I use it? If I purchase said object will I be willing to also give it up?

This as well as making a budget of spending money for myself that did not interfere with my family's budget was the game plan I thought was going to solve my problem. I set aside a small amount of money to spend with as I choose. This is all the money I am able to use for these purchases and I must bring my list of questions with me before I make any purchases.

My husband has so graciously offered his assistance in this matter. He said he would just tell me "no" if he thinks we don't need it. I on the other hand was not satisfied with that game plan because if left to my husband, we wouldn't purchase anything. I am not at that point yet.

I still have the "shopping" bug which can be dangerous I know, but I think with my game plan I can curb it, and maybe learn to live with it in peace, without it causing too much damage.

Life is worth so much more than our belongings. Time goes by so fast. Why waste it cleaning, mending, and repairing useless "stuff" when you could be using this once in a life time opportunity making memories with your children, husband, friends, and family. My husband was right, "stuff owns you" if you let it. I know this Gal will think more deeply and clearly before making another "good deal" in the future.

Hope you have a fantastic Clean and Clutter Free Fall Season!
