This is coming to light more often now, as we get into the things that I've hoarded over the years as opposed to things that I used and never thought of. Yesterday I sorted through my perle cotton thread. OMG! I had so much more than I had realized. These threads have come wrapped around a paper tube. I can see them in their big plastic barrel sitting on the shelf, and the colours give me joy. So when sorting them, I kept a few, probably a few more than necessary, just to provide that spark of joy. But twice as many went to the thrift store this morning. I spoke of the feeling of relief I felt in purging many of the items that have been around much too long. But there are a couple of things that I hesitate to even touch because I know that I'll experience a mix of emotions, and probably regret at getting rid of them--such as my Zentangle supplies and samples. And the Zentangles will probably be in today's "To Do" list.
Today was to be the meeting out in Lorette. I had a big bag of yarn to take to the ladies there, as they all seem to be knitting or crocheting. The weather has taken a turn for the worse--snow/sleet/freezing rain/rain all mixed together and with a healthy wind pushing it around. David did not really want me out on the highway, I was reluctant myself, and not feeling any need to prove a point. So after dropping a full car load off at the thrift store, and breakfast at Starbucks, I'm home in my nice warm house, with a lovely cup of coffee.
