I've been mentally decluttering my bookshelf. There are a lot of books on the shelf that I will not read or reference again, but I keep them because the bookcase is part of the decor and it looks good right now. However, while laying in bed this morning, I thought I would have a practice go at it... sorting out the keepers from the rest and arranging the keepers on the shelf. If I can live with it, I will get rid of the other books. If I don't like how it looks, maybe I'll keep the books, or if there aren't enough books to justify keeping the bookcase, then... (breathes deep) maybe I'll get rid of the bookcase. I can't believe I am contemplating that since it was the first piece of furniture I bought. It was a nice piece, still is, but I think I've outgrown it. It doesn't fit my needs anymore except that it looks good.
There... I got it out of my head an onto a page.
I think about the unwanted books too much, they have to go, but I have resisted taking action for a long time. I can get rid of other unwanted things around the house with ease, but those books seem to have a hold on me.
I could use some encouragement.
