I'm tonight trying to remember that whatever happens, I took charge and acted to take my life in a positive direction.

It's possible there'll still be a date, just isn't going to happen tonight.

Still working on positivity and also working to declutter my life. This decluttering has been a project for at least 6 months or so now, maybe as few as 4 months. It feels fantastic! I moved around the stuff in my 'dining' room today (a bookshelf and cat litter box/food etc) and because I had to take everything off the bookshelf to move it (and who knew that linoleum could be dented or completely sunk through by the foot of a bookshelf!?), I've been working through everything on the shelf: keep, recycle, scan and then recycle. I have a huge pile of recycle. I'm finally getting to a place where recycling old school stuff feels OK. This has been something I've worked with my entire life. The need to keep school stuff, but not really ever needing it. School texts too. I've got a bag full of old texts to take to work for donation... that somehow feels better than outright giving them away. This bag has books totaling over $100... probably way more.... I guess I always feel like I might need them or need them for reference later in life, and would hate to have to buy them again.

I need to remember that the library is always there, and by the time I would want to use these texts, newer, more accurate ones will be available!

So, thinking about continuing to work through my bookshelf stuff, while trying to stay positive.
