KonMari: “Kon-fident” that this is a good thing!
….at last.
So, So much…..I could barely breathe.
Our guest bedroom closet was Sentimental Central.
Mountains of memories & mementos.
My beloved “cabbage patch-like” doll my sister made for me.
The Felt wall hanging which taught my sons the alphabet.
The Precious Past.
Hey There, KonMari Friends….
I know it’s been a while since I visited with you about my KonMari journey. Believe me when I write this: Sentimental Category takes time if you truly touch each item… and make a thoughtful decision if it deserves a ticket into your future.
Processing a closet full of my boys’ sentimental toys, stuffed animals, trophies & medals, and collectibles was a joyful experience. As I handled each item, I remembered the precious past and our delightful days together. My boys’ had a childhood filled with goodness…. and glorious experiences. And this sentimental journey allowed me (The Mom) to relive those years.
Instead of tears shed for irretrievable times with my two celebrated sons….KonMari gave me the perspective to remember – with only thanksgiving – that I got to mother and mentor my sons….alongside the best husband and father imaginable.
Was life perfect back then? Nope. Far from it. But it was a good life… even though we had as many “downs” as “ups”….just like everyone else I know.
KonMari gave me the tools and motivation to revisit life with a genuine spirit of respect and with an attitude of gratitude.
I come back to the Present by playing with my grandson chihuahua.
He reminds me it’s dinner time by carrying
his little blue dish around in his mouth.
Time to make new memories – with him.
