Cleaning seemed to be the word of the day. After folding the final bits of laundry, I moved into sweeping and washing the floors. Given the cooler temperatures today, it made sense to do the heavy work. The filing cabinet has been calling my name for some time. Today was the day. I cleared out two drawers and part of a third. This filled three-and one/half blue bags for recycling pickup tomorrow. There is still a lot of sorting to do with the final two drawers, but that will be for the next pick up in two weeks. Once the drawers are cleared, there will be room to put household and personal files into the cabinet instead of file boxes in a closet <smile>.
Much of the paper in the filing cabinet was of a professional nature, most of it older or outdated. That made sorting less onerous. The topics brought back many memories of projects and people I worked with in the past. It felt positive but a bit wistful. There also is a feeling of release -- letting things go. I felt like I could finish the last two drawers in one big purge, but I listened to my lower back and put that task off for another day <smile>.
Looking back on the purge of the day, I decided I felt a sense of freedom. The song line that played in my head is the introduction and chorus line from the song of the day. Stay safe. Enjoy!
