Looking Forward to Better Days

[Dawn70]

I agree that purging is satisfying. For me, when I was going through my divorce, it was extremely cathartic. I moved from our shared marital home to a much smaller duplex and I got rid of a ton of stuff then. I lived in that little place for about a year and a half before I moved home and when I moved here, I moved to a larger house than my duplex, but still not as big as what I had lived in when married, because it was just me and the dog, so no need for a huge house. I purged again then. And, when I moved to Sparky's last fall, I purged even more, but still have a lot I can do.

As far as my organizing every day, I just needed something I could focus on and feel productive about to reset my mind. I am not at all a big primper and I eat breakfast with Sparky before he leaves, so it really only takes me about 10 minutes to get ready, if even that, so I have at least 30 good minutes of time to do something productive. I realized it will quickly become a game, too, in that I will do whatever I'm going to do without mentioning it to Sparky then see how long it takes him to notice. We're just weird like that. LOL
