Purge Progress

Hello, Friends, I am posting this through 'Restoration News' because I have found what happens to me, a Baby Boomer, is a trend happening to all Baby Boomers and their relations. I share it with you for what it's worth. Nearing 3 months of concentrated work, the picture attached is the tail end of my current purge. It effected all 10 rooms in the house and 2 rooms at my art studio. There are leftovers at the studio yet to distribute other places. The pile in the photo will be a fall/winter project, one box at a time. I can handle only so much of sorting papers and nit-picky small stuff at a time. I also had to do the purge in time chunks, with rest in between. I learned a lot and even feel I have something to share on what to do and who to contact on buying and selling to get the best price. This sale went OK, but my next sale should go easier and be more lucrative. I made some wonderful connections in people who know goods, prices, and how to navigate marketing items online. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. All things learned should be passed along. The greatest BLESSING is the FREEDOM in letting go of past good things and heading into the next adventure aiming for the BEST God has for me. It never would have happened without the Holy Spirit speaking to change my heart toward the thoughts and things I was hanging onto. I encourage everyone to investigate this process with the Lord's vision for your future life's JOY in mind. The purge was difficult, but tolerable, rather like having a root canal. Afterward it feels great and every bit worth the assault on mind and body. The process actually improved my health because I was active every day more hours and using my arms, abs, and legs. Purging has become a mindset habit. Daughter Jenna and I are on a roll now. We will tackle the garage next with the vision of creating an organized space to enjoy a variety of workshop projects. The garage has never been THAT in all 19 years we've lived on S. Main. By the way, Jenna's help was critical to the success of this purge. No one should go into a project like this alone. Too slow and no fun. Onward and Upward! God is so GOOD! All the time!
