The Importance of Downsizing!

                                     The Importance of Downsizing!


Hello there friends! This is Mother Wit checking back in after taking a very long hiatus. Recently, my husband and I decided to prepare to downsize and move into a smaller home. It was indeed a serious undertaking, You never would know how much you have accumulated until you actually start to pull it out. We found items that were totally hidden from us. The decision to downsize is a real issue.

Now you have to let go of things that really only mean something to you. Ask yourself, will I ever use again? If you have kids, do my children want any of my things, including my furniture? What about my clothes, shoes, purses, jewelry? Well let me tell you, your children will only pass what's dear to you, right over to someone else or give it to Salvation Army.

Listen, I am trying to tell you. Give away those blouses, skirts, dresses, coats etc. You can only wear one outfit a day. Be a blessing to someone, anyone and everyone. I felt so good when I gave away tons of clothes, shoes, shoe boxes of jewelry, coats, dishes, and most of all, furniture. Yes, an entire living room, office desks and rolling file cabinets.

Listen Baby- Boomers, if you are 60 plus years old, let it go!!!! My husband and I downsized from a 5 bedroom house, full basement of furniture, garage full of tools and everything you can imagine. So, my husband took a major step and gave away so many of his tools including his tool caddy full of tools. Just let it go! We are more liberated than we have ever been.

So my friends, stay tuned for more talk on down sizing from Mother Wit! I have a lot more to tell you.
