Spring Cleaning in Summer

 We've hired a junk removal company to haul away a bunch of our junk tomorrow! It's been a long time coming, and we're very excited! I must admit a little trepidation on my part, though. Some of this junk has memories, and it can be hard to get rid of things. 

To help lighten the load, and perhaps the total cost of the job, I've been carting things out, trash bag by trash bag. It's been both cathartic and draining. BUT I'm looking forward to reclaiming the space, especially in my home office! I've love to get a sleeper love seat or futon, and add some plants too. 

 

The photo above is not our home, but in my mind's eye, the pile has been pretty big! It includes some boxes from cleaning out our parents home a few years ago. Going through those things has been bittersweet, and I'm not done yet. But progress!
