Tidying

Nascence of KonMari
has me sitting on the floor
talking to my clothes.
"Spark my joy
or goodbye".

KonMari is an emerging organizational program sparked by a book, "Spark Joy" by Marie Kondo, a minimalist tidying routine that starts with all items of your clothing being heaped on the floor. Then you take each item, hold it and decide whether or not it sparks joy. If so, you keep it and return it to its proper place, if not you thank it for its service and either donate it or discard it. I did this 2 years ago and cleared bags of clothing from my closets and drawers. I am doing it again and amazingly I already have a full garbage bag to donate elsewhere and I've only just begun. Note: the KonMari laundry folding and storing technique is really great. I've used it for 2 years and when I open a drawer I can see and identify every item in it, making selection very simple. Where was this when I was raising my child? At least I have introduced my grandchildren to it and they don't want their Mom to put their clothes away because she doesn't do it right.
