30th April
Living simply is also about not hanging on to things.
I regularly take to charity shops things that we are not using anymore, things that we have in duplicate, things that are taking up space. This could a dress I bought but no longer wear, books I have read and won’t reread, toys the children have outgrown etc. Conversely when I need something, I will check out the charity shops – this often involves patience but in time the saucepan or jacket I need will turn up. And there is always a good supply of books to read.
The house feels more comfortable when it is not cluttered with stuff. And there is less to worry about – be that keeping it clean, finding space to store it etc.
