Simplify!

We started something new in our Sunday School class, it's called Affluenza.  


It's about how we are affected by how the world measures success, and how we can avoid falling into the trap of keeping up with the Jones'.  


It's something that I have really thought a lot about lately.  I truly feel like I need to let go of "things", don't get me wrong, I am certainly not a hoarder or anything but I definitely have more than I need.


One of the things someone suggested to kind of begin the process of simplifying is to just clean out our closets.  How many things do we have in our closet that we do not, or cannot wear?  I once heard that if you haven't worn it in a year then you don't need it.  


I know that in my closet are some things that are still perfectly good, but I don't use them anymore so I just put them in the top of my closet. 


I usually make myself clean out my closets every summer, but this year I am really cleaning them out.  If I don't use it on a daily basis, it is going!


What about you?  Do you own your things, or do they own you?
