I purged and listed for the New Year… although I would like to purge some more. I backed up all my 2005 email and my 2005 financial records onto CD, and then deleted them from the computer. My inbox and my check register are shiny and empty now, waiting to fill up with new adventures.

Now I’m ready to do more purging in my house. Time to go through the closet and get rid of clothes I haven’t worn in a year. Time to clean out drawers. And definitely time to clean out the garage. There is so much I can throw away, recycle, or send to Goodwill.

Purge purge purge. It’s so cathartic. The now can’t squeeze into my life when it is cluttered with the past.

It makes Matt nervous when I purge though. He’s not a purger. But I just can’t help it. I love the feeling of letting go, and then watching what new things flow in. It’s like unblocking a stream, and then feeling the fresh, cool water flow past your skin.

I love the New Year. It’s a time of hope and promise.
