Subject: RE: Autumn Leaves Decluttered Spaces 2013
I spent almost 3 hours ydy, cleaning/pricing yard sale items with Jesus, dog, and radio. Three packed trash barrels-ful done and 2 large plastic bins of fabrics eyeballed (YAY, no mice evidence).

To my surprise, I am liking the work involved in following the advice to sticker-price ALL the items (not to just set out tables with table-pricing; it gave me a chance to clean and spruce up items as I prayerfully envisioned: how their eventual recipients may use them, what their lives are like, where each item came from, saying goodbye to some of the reasons for having them, looking forward to new spaces....

I do not even care if I don't make a dime-- it all goes to FreeCycle and Goodwill if it doesn't sell-- because I really enjoyed the fresh air and being able to do the work without any helping hands (human ones). And I am so glad I postponed it a week to take this time and care, and to be on the planet to enjoy being actually able to do a job within my compass.
