  1. Carol,
    Getting organized and decluttering seem to get harder for me the older I get, but I am working on decluttering this spring. We just had our floors updated and had to move everything out of the rooms. Now, instead of just moving everything back where it was, I am analyzing what to keep, what to get rid of, and where to put what I do keep. Some things that are staying are being used in a different space than before. I’m loving how things are looking.
