It has begun. I have completed step one: gone through all the boxes I had in storage and did serious purging. I took a ton of paper to recycling – stuff I’d been keeping and dragging around for years. Purged!

And I am throwing stuff away like mad – things I always thought, “Well – one day I may want to revisit this – like old demo tapes of my film work). All gone. Tossed! No regrets.

Already I feel a lot lighter. The purging will continue. I attack the closet next. This will likely mean a trip to the Donation Store. Good.

I am paring down and down and down.

Meanwhile, just chatting with Grace on Messenger. Pat has downloaded the GPS track for the Jack Augerpoint Traverse. The planning has begun.

It’s all smooth sailing now. I am approaching this with complete ease and I have a feeling that is exactly how it will go – smooth, easy, simple.

Back to work. Closet – here I come!
