Do we need to Un clutter our life?
Welcome back!

Just the other day, I took my son Dylan to his pediatrician Dr. Shannon for his 9 months check up.
Dr. Shannon and I were talking about, how quickly that Dylan is going to be one year old. Dr. Shannon said to me, “Tell your friends and family to spend their money on contributing to Dylan’s college fund, instead of givning toys for his birthday.” I said to Dr. Shannon, “I agree he doesn’t need any more toys!” Dr. Shannon said, “Most first child have a clutter life, they have too much stuff. Keep Dylan’s life simple, he doesn’t need to live in a clutter life.”
I drove home and begin to think about what Dr. Shannon said about “Clutter Life.”
Is our life cluttered with too many material things? And we are drowning in up keeping all of the material goods? Is our emotion cluttered with too much baggage? Are we buried under all of our hang ups?
Do we need to un clutter our life?
What is it that we do, that is truly important?
What really matters?
Are we all so busy, because we have so much that we must attend to? Or are we just busy because we are full of clutter?
Are we mentally tired because we think so much about improvements? Or are we just tired because we are buried under our emotion baggage?

I was just looking at that exact same subject as I tripped over a bunch of stuff coming into my house yesterday! Between my son’s toys and my stuff, you would think there are 5 people living here! Time to do some Fall cleaning! Have a wonderful day!
Dear Lucky Lou
Yeah, you will feel so much better after you declutter! Once you start it can be fun!
Thanks for your comment, I look forward to reading more from you.

Hi Giovanna,
We started de-cluttering yesterday. We packed up boxes of baby clothes and toys, all ready for pick up by a family member who’s expecting a new arrival. Today, we worked on our closets. How many pairs of black shoes is really necessary? LOL When we saw this post and read your comment on FB, it was really funny to see how many people were thinking alike.
De-cluttering our home is definitely on the right track of living a simpler life. It’s also wonderful to be able to give to someone else who may need it more that us. We’re off to Goodwill on Monday!!
Happy de-cluttering to everyone!!
Many Blessings….

I’ve no idea which link on which website I clicked and came here. But since I already am here, let me share with you a text I just read. It appears you don’t have much of a problem with questioning things… Well, on this website, you might find a lot of things that make you question a hell lot of more:

Good luck, keep questioning…
It’s always best to live clutter free.
12 years ago my grandma (mom’s mom) died of lung cancer, my aunt (mom’s sister) died of a heart attack, (as well as my 12 year old yorkie) all died in the same week. Let’s just say they were big pack rats–saved everything inc torn shirts, old buttons…my parents and I spent several weeks cleaning out both homes. Since then–when I get something new, I get rid of something old & when in doubt, chuck it out!

Dear Nancy
Thanks for sharing your story. It often time very hard for people to de-clutter, when someone pass away. A lot of time people’s emotion tell them to hang on to eveything. Your story is inspiring to all, in the sense that we all need to move on.
Thank You for your comment, I look forward to reading more from you.
