So I am only 4 days behind...

...but I will make up for it...Lent that is. I was baptized a Catholic, made my First Holy Communion, did a stint in Agape Youth Group and then bailed. But in preparation of celebrating Mardi Gras, I was explaining Fat Tuesday to my class. I love second grade because not only do they listen for more than 1 minute, they also come up with some pretty darn good questions. "What are you giving up?" Who me??? Nothing!


Later that day I heard about 40 Bags....GIVE AWAY!! Help others!! Clear the clutter!! The idea is to give a bag a day away to Goodwill or the likes. So today, I took my huge, 4' tall paper bags, (that I got from the free compost section at our local dump,) that were waiting in the garage for a while now, to Goodwill. Each day I will clear out my closet, my dresser, a drawer, etc...40 days worth!! I did my own version of this a few summers ago where I got rid of one item each day....and when I had exhausted all my extras I started organizing one thing a day. I have too much...STUFF!! so 40 days should put a dent in it.

I tried this one year. I didn't make it through the forty days, but I did manage to get rid of a lot of stuff. I wanted to do it this year, too, but just haven't had the time. I think it's a great project!

I recently read someone else giving up clutter for lent. That's far more beneficial than say wine or chocolate...in my opinion. :)

Totally agree :)

Good for you. This is a great goal to have.

Hi M!
I am so overwhelmed by my clutter that I've pledged to donate/dispose something every day. Easier than trying to tackle a whole big space at a time.
