2003 in a box

I wasn't exactly making much visible progress with the cleaning project last night, but it was interesting. I found my year 2003 in a box....there must have been a reason for me 2 years ago to put a whole bunch of my paperwork and trinkets in a box and shove it in a corner of the bedroom never to be seen again until last night. 2003 was a TOUGH year for me...I was out of work for 9 months, looking for a job, I was so unhappy and frustrated. Well, it's good to be in a a better space!!!! I was going thru the box which contained outdated resumes and bills and mail and all kinds of stuff. I ran the shredder for quite a while...I have 3 bags of stuff to throw out of 2003 tonight.

The bills were just the usual utilities and insurance.....there were a couple credit cards bills in there, but I didn't look at them. I probably would not see much difference in the balances right now. (UGH!)

I still have more of that box to go thru,and then I have to figure out what I'm going to do with what I am going to keep (mostly paperwork). I am overwhelmed right now with all the junk I already have thanks to this cleaning out project...

...I am happy to say that my shopping has been minimal as of late because I don't want to refill all the spaces I am trying to clear. My shopping cash is turning into snowflakes.......and I didn't go to bank to snowflake today, so I will hopefully get an electronic payment in before I go out to visit my sweetie tonight.

It feels so good to throw out 2003! 2005 has been a much better year.

Perhaps this thread is better titled "2003 in a Shredder" :)


Congrats to you for clearing out the clutter!

All my best,
