February 9, 2021: Well, I braved the crawl space this morning since the feline was asleep in his tree. I only looked through one 18 gallon tote ~ Bonanza! 5 things!
Car wipes which have dried out… old dish soap which is separating and burbling… an animal urine remover which has lost efficacy… wood block oil which has gone rancid… and an empty roll of packing tape… (ok, this is becoming embarrassing… LOL!)
This find brings to mind another importance of decluttering … clean air! Amazing all the unfriendly things we become oblivious to… subtly leaking into our space… Hmmmm….
Decluttering also brings other types of opportunity to discover not to mention saving money as I will need to inquire how to properly dispose the above items and I found nitrile dish gloves in the tote, so no need to buy ~ yeah cracked hands no more!! (we won’t mention the money we wasted by not using the products we purchased… discreet, blushing eye roll here)
Breathing easier, becoming smarter, gaining wealth and happy hands to boot … not bad fringe benefits to this challenge!
In other news, haven’t made it back to the mirror yet … hope to do some more tonight… For now, off to find 4 more items… I think sticking with the cleaning products theme is the way to go as one of my rags has such a big hole in it now, it fits neatly around the bottle top! LOL!
Yeah! This idea worked! 4 items in under 4 minutes! Rags all doing swiss cheese imitations… LOL! (btw, we passed becoming… this IS embarrassing! LOL!)… thinking using holeless rags will also make for happy hands and smiles on fingertips!
Thus, smiles on faces! Yet another wonderful fringe benefit! Yippee! See you tomorrow!
