Work In Progress

One idea I had while laying in bed last night staring at my closet, is that this would be a good place to start if I were to make a resolution for the New Year. I shall go through my closet, get rid of what I don't need, and organize and straighten up what remains. This will be a huge undertaking since I have a very long closet. I will not give myself a deadline for completion at this time. That would only cause pressure and I don't work well under pressure. The first thing I will do is go through the tote bags and pocketbooks to see what I can purge or give away. Next will be the shoes. What haven't I worn in a long while? What no longer fits comfortably? After these things are sorted, I will be one my way. The harder things to go through will be the clothes hanging on the hangers. I'll know what fits and what doesn't, but what about the blazers I haven't worn since I retired? I love them. They're not really out of style. I must have collected at least 10 over the years. I have them in every color that I ever loved. There could be occasions to wear them, but they take up so much room in the closet. Thinking that one through is a dilemna. In any case, I shall not buy any more clothing this winter since I have enough now.
When the closet is done, I have 2 bureau drawers to go through and straighten. That will be an easier task.
So, those are two of my "goals" or "resolutions" for the new year. As I'm thinking about it, I usually give myself "goals" to achieve as I go about my life. I often make progress but don't always achieve the end result I'd like to achieve. I'll forever be a "work in progress" I guess.
