Day 10 and the great clean up

Day 10 and I'm still not significantly out of the living room. This presents a problem as I've not really been home much today. There is a new pile of things in the middle of the floor much of which is awaiting a new home but a lot of paper is gone/shredded or filed.

Yesterday I did some research on tiny houses and tiny homes and have found new ideas for clearing up and new inspiration for stuff reduction. With my incredible tendency to collect and hoard, like a squirrel or hamster there are issues. Looking through my receipts for the last 10 years music has occupied a significant part of my expenditure. However there are many things that did not work out and some I have given away but other are still in a closet. Time to clear out! I'm returning to an old theme that small is beautiful and perhaps smaller and simpler is better. Frequently stuff just causes me more distress than relief, more stress than security. Perhaps this is a new stage for me in understanding purgation, an important stage in spiritual growth.
