I’ve been slowly selling things from my house on craigslist and a few other flagstaff online markets. Moving is always such a good time to really assess what is important, and what is just taking up space and collecting dust.

Today, I continued the purging. I had a yard sale at my brother’s house (my house is too far out of town and doesn’t get enough traffic for a good yard sale), and got rid of even more things.

Before I started this, while my brother was helping me cart things in to his house yesterday, he told me to not charge too much and to just get rid of things. It’s easier to rid myself of them rather than bring them back and have to start all over again with them. I think I surprised even him, though. It got to the point that I was offering entire boxes of craft stuff at $1 per box. I was tired and the people were not really interested in spending too much. I wanted to get rid of it and it wasn’t *really* about the money.

It was fun. Half of my stuff was gone within the first hour. There are still a few things so we’re going to do it again in the morning, but overall, it was a good purge.

My home now has mostly the essentials. It’s kind of nice living a more uncluttered life.
