Get rid of clutter! Boost the economy! Not that I will be able to participate, but I just read that on May 15, people all across the U.S. will be giving their stuff away - as in dragging it out to the curb for someone else to use.
Image note: That mask in the center right that looks sortof like an alien robot monkey? It's a REAL DRIED MONKEY HEAD, complete with silver ornamentation and the original fangs! Yikes!
As somebody who recently Got Rid of A Whole Lot of Stuff, let me tell you that:
A) I don't miss any of it - (with the possible exception of a bright orange comfy armchair from my childhood that really was getting to old and cat hair filled to be really useful,) and
B) It's incredibly liberating. Less stuff = More possibilities.
C) If the only reason you've got stuff is to remind you of something, try taking a digital picture of it. Much more portable. (Examples below)
C'mon - even if you don't have any dried monkey heads around, you know you've got something lurking in your basement that you don't need that somebody else would love to have. Tell your friends!
Give your stuff away day
