sorting
It was a cold day to clean out the car, but seeing as I'm picking up my van tomorrow at noon, it had to be done. It really amazed me how much stuff I can collect, especially as it's a small car. I emptied it, cleaned it, including getting the goo off the dash from one or another electronic appliance that sat up there. Then I came in and started sorting! Purging is good for me and I ended up with just 1 container of stuff to go into the van. It also took me 2 hours to warm up! I will NOT be going for a walk later... I will do some stretches though, as that seems to help before I go to bed and I have managed it pretty regularly since I started.
I also went swimming with Kelly and the boys this morning and that was fun. After I finished with the car, I sorted and packed some of Bernie's pictures and did laundry. Now I think I'll sit on my ass and read.
By the way, I forgot to mention how easy it was to walk the hills around Teresa's house yesterday and that was not the case even 6 months ago. I also got a glimpse of how much I still need to learn as I drooled over sausage, chicken and cheese, but I only had my cup of broccoli. They assure us we will be ready when we are at that stage.
Warmly, elly

I think of the word purging in various contexts. First and easiest is the one you describe, in which you get rid of the physical junk you've collected. Secondly, and a bit more difficult is ridding your body of the non nutritious chemical junk it has accumulated. Thirdly, and by far the most difficult is ridding our minds, hearts, and even our souls of the emotional junk! If wish I knew how do that!!
