#1. Spring Cleaning

My first goal is yes, Spring Cleaning. I know this doesn't sound much like a goal, but I thought what a good way to start. Two weekends ago, I got rid of a lot of things that I didn't need but for some reason was still holding onto. I also dusted, vacuumed, swept, mop and organized everything I possible can. It felt great. A new start with a super clean apartment. The only thing I couldn't seem to get rid of was my daughter's old clothes. She's nineteen months and I have 4 big plastic bins of her clothes, which are sorted my size. My thoughts at first was to give the salvation army all the clothes that she couldn't fit into anymore and that didn't hold any sentimental value. But as I was trying to figure out which ones to ditch I realized that all of them have some kind of sentimental value, either because it was the first onesy she threw up on, or it was the first pants she wore when she took her first walk, and to be honest it mostly came down to because she wore them. But perhaps me holding onto all her clothes is for a good reason that I don't know yet. Maybe in my future I'm set out to have another child for which these clothes are meant for. Who knows? But I can assure you that everything else is organized and has been condensed. I encourage everyone to do this. As non meaningful as it sounds, it actually felt good. It helped me to feel liberated and motivated to continue with this project. Since the spring cleaning, every time I walk into my home I smile, and look around at the great job that I have done.
