Zen and the Art of Cleaning

I am cleaning in a cosmic sense. Well there is also dirt going away, but more than that, I am shedding. I tend to keep stuff, lots of stuff, generally revolving about someone who gave me something. I have stuff from people I don't care about and doubt they even remember me. It always just seemed rude to discard things that people gave me. It's not. It's clutter and I need less. So I'm down to the last two rooms. (That is not such a grand accomplishment considering I only have four spaces to worry about. Sounds better than half done. Then there is the garage..........{sigh}) I am taking pictures as I go along to remind myself of how it should look. Is that crazed or what?
On a positive note I hung my new painting! It is gorgeous and I'm so glad I broke down and bought it at the Art from the Streets show. All homeless or formerly homeless artists. I need it to be a good work to break down and spend that much money.
I'm off to IKEA this afternoon for new pans, my Christmas gift to myself. I have no lids that fit anything. Part of my making my life more simple. I want things that work!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all. A Poirot Christmas is coming in next.
