Decluttering is so exhiliarating. I just bagged up three-quarters of the contents of our linen closet to give to Goodwill.

We don't need a dozen sets of double bed sheets when the only double bed in the house is the rarely-used guest bed. We don't need sixteen adult-sized bath towels, half of which are too ratty to use. We don't need a massive plastic baby bathtub which, despite its gargantuan size, babies outgrow in about four months. We don't need six afghans. We don't need an electric blanket controller for an electric blanket we no longer own.

We. Don't. Need.

We're saving our ratty bath towels for cleaning towels now, then when we move next, they'll be sacrificed for packing and cleaning. But for now, I use them for patch-cleaning the floor, cleaning windowsills, etc. Cut in half, they're quite useful. (Actually, we're still using the least ratty of them as bath towels, because we're putting off buying new towels until we move.)
