The weather also treated us well, as the rain was kind enough to hold out until mid afternoon. At one point it started lightly misting, and we had to cover fragile items that were exposed to the elements, but soon even the mist dissipated.
At 2 pm, when the sale was over, we took whatever unsold items were left and piled them into the back of Will's Subaru before I could change my mind and decide I wanted to hold onto it all. While we were headed to the Goodwill drop off site, it literally started pouring. I cracked up, feeling so giddy at the fact that the "Weather God" was so kind as we literally missed having a soaking wet disaster by less than ten minutes!
After we happily unloaded everything at the drop off site, we headed straight back home, discussing how we weren't going to turn around and start buying a bunch more stuff to replace what we just let go of. Once home, it was a rather pleasant experience to be able to the entire floor of our garage once again. It dawned us how how long it had been since we had so much space to feely move about, so we started to dance...
In that moment I realized that too much clutter can definitely weigh a person down. Therefore, the more I release, the lighter I feel. Whether or not it is symbolic doesn't matter--living light feels oh so good!
Before After
