holiday goal

I am going to spring clean my bedroom this holiday.

I'd like it to look a little like this one I found on roomenvy.

But I fear at the moment it looks more like those seen on TV news shows of neglected houses!

I've made a start and I have a huge pile of washing to do. I have found an amplifier and a bag of half eaten fairy floss - neither of these actually belong to me. I've sorted out two bags of stuff to go to good will so at the moment it looks worse than it did before! I'm afraid that that's the way it goes, it gets worse before it gets better.

I am beginning to see the wisdom of the thoughts of minimalism. Keeping only things that are useful or truly beautiful. I have difficulty throwing things away so this morning as I was waking I visualised myself trowing away or donating everything that was not absolutely necessary or lovely. I have got rid of some stuff but it was harder than I imagined and now I'm running out of enthusiasm for the job...

I'll have a little break and get back into it.
