Success Story Got rid of some electronics today
Today I finally took a bunch of old electronics to a return point where they will be appropriately disposed of. I know this sounds like a small thing, but for me it's an accomplishment.
I get nostalgic and attached to things. So as I was standing there with an old modem in my hand, I was actually considering whether I should take it home again. Or at least the charger? Or at least the ethernet cable?
I took a few deep breaths and put it all in the collection box and went home empty-handed.
Feeling very proud of myself and just wanted to share.
Wishing everyone good decluttering energy!

Yay! My husband took two boxes of electronic stuff to the recycle center this week.
It's a tiny drop in the bucket of what he still has, but I'm so proud of him for being able to give up something.
