Resolution to downsize

from w
Every New Year I seem to make the same resolution, that is, to downsize my clothes, my books, my computer files, my junk. I would like to have a kind of Japanese style house, minimalist, orderly, neat. And as for clothes, I wear about one tenth of what's there in the cupboard. So some must go to an op shop or to the tip!  Then I look again and decide, no I want to keep this and that. The pic is from one of my scrapbooks - I've been cutting out magazine and newspaper articles and pictures since I was eight years old, and at times, sort them to throw out. It's hard though as I'm a bowerbird by nature.  Now, with seven people in the household, the accumulation is just too much though!
