I have a genetic predisposition to weight gain - the external type. I am a pack-rat. My grand mother saved everything, and mom may not save exactly everything but she has clothes and shoes in more than two closets.
I'm more like my grandmother. I have boxes and boxes of stuff. Now mind you many items are important - to me. I have inherited most of my grandmother's photographs and I really will one day sort through them. In fact, I have sorted through several boxes of them already. But she was a shutterbug who lived into her nineties.
I also have a lot of photography stuff of my own. Thanks, Grandmom. and I really do mean thanks, I love photography. I also have a couple boxes of seashells for some projects that I will one day get to... and other craft items, and...
all kinds of collectible stuff that I received from an ex-husband who was addicted to ordering from ebay and oh my gosh, the paperwork challenges of a woman with ADHD. Unless you have ADHD (or love someone who has it) you have no idea what I'm talking about!
Things and projects and stuff can weigh one down in so many ways!
If you're a pack rat maybe its time... Purge yourself!
Get help if you need it, either to help physically and/or mentally or even emotionally. I need all the help I can get.
My brother is helping me to put on a yard sale and collector's sale. He's been helping me go through boxes and organize and price and such. Having him here has been really helpful in keeping me focused. He also reminds me by just knowing his own habits, that with help, one can overcome the clutter-bug and pack rat syndromes.
I keep my objective in focus - better clarity of thought for the projects I want to do, like write and put those pictures Grandmom and I have taken to use!
