I will admit that some days it is harder to gather stuff together than others. There are the obvious ones here today, like the remaining dish towels I forewarned you about, the rest of the DVDs that were for my son and a few books. The rest, however, I had to revisit previous decluttering sites and take a second look at what was really there.
It would seem initially that I am doing nothing more than simply grabbing things in an effort to attain my item count for the day. However, I think it is more about understanding ones relationship with their things. At a brief glance you make snap judgments of what is valuable to you but when you actually reflect on the item you often can come to a different understanding of it. I really thought that I wanted to hold on to the Trivial Pursuit game when I first came across it a week ago. But as I held it in my hand I realized that I've owned this game for over a decade yet I could only recall a handful of times I've ever played it.
The card game and the puzzle I simply overlooked the first go around, not sure why since I actually had two of each of them. The Blu-ray movies are movies that I watched once and have no interested in ever watching again so they were relatively easy to part with. As a result of the movies that are now gone, the white media box that was holding them can go as well.
