My goal to declutter my life in 2006 is off to a good start. I spent the weekend working in my walk in closet (and my walk in is huge, all the better to collect more *stuff*). I have bags and bags of clothes ready to go to charity and still more to go through. But I feel good about what I’ve accomplished. I can’t believe how much stuff was hanging in my closet that either won’t fit (too big or too small) or is so out of date that it gets past over even if it does fit. So out it went!
I got up this morning, intent on returning to my revisions of Carol. However, I decided to take care of my year end business bookkeeping first. My writing business is a corporation, so there is quite a bit of work to be accomplished at this time of year. Hours later, I was done, and I felt wonderfully light, knowing it’s behind me. Okay, another couple of weeks and I will be neck deep in preparing everything to go to my CPA, both personal and corporation receipts.
The next thing I did was the best part of my day yet. I made reservations to fly to see two of my dearest friends for a long weekend at the end of this month. Yes!! I’ll get lots and lots of hugs and be loved on and be silly and drink lots of coffee and sleep little and talk until I’m hoarse. I can hardly wait!
I’ve read a lot of blogs with their year in review. I did a review of my blog posts. But the best thing I’ve read yet was from BJ Hoff’s Grace Notes where she writes about her Not So Favorites of 2005. I particularly loved her "Much Ado About Nothing."
Okay, more work to be done.

Hi Robin, I’m following your example. I’m getting organized and taking care of those pesty end of the year business expense reports. Thanks for the uplifting blog. I love it!
I’m all about the weed out! Congrats on attacking your closet. I did a pretty good weeding between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now I just need to order my 2005 version of “It’s Deductible,” so that I can claim the giveaways on my taxes. Do you use this program? It makes a big difference!
I actually started getting organized yesterday, at long last, on the ultimate bane of my life–housework. I hadn’t vacuumed or swept the floor since my knee surgery Nov. 23rd, so the living room was killing me. I feel much better now. 🙂
Hopefully I can continue my neat streak. It’s hard to write when I think of all the cleaning that needs to be done.
