I was also able to drag a heavy basket of stuff out of our closet, go through it, trash most of it except for a few giveaways adn then fill it with the small linens ironing which has been piled on the ironing board for a couple of weeks.
I feel as though I am seeing my house through new eyes, or clearer eyes, of a sudden. I can see someone has not taken care for a long time...every surface is full of dust, the walls have cobwebs, clutter is everywhere...all signs of depression, I now know, at least when it comes to myself. I felt badly about my beautiful things being so dirty, but then I realised, if I am finally noticing, I must be ready to take it in small bits and get it cleaned up. I already have some ideas about changing stuff which is on shelves in the LR and bedroom as well as some other small things I can do alone.
