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.

If you haven't already passed the stuff from the linen closet along to Goodwill... call a local women's or homeless shelter to see if they can use it? When I was in the shelter, things like enough sheets and towels were a godsend; I still occasionally act as a [um. damn. words gone. f$cking migraine aphasia conduit? something anyway] from friends or acquaintances and drop things off at the shelter when I'm heading to Seattle anyway.

Also, bravo on the clearing out of things. I'm down to "what I need" plus "craft supplies" and "books".
