Today marked the first day of our first annual summer purge.
Pretty much everyday this month, give or take a birthday, holiday, and Sunday day, I'm going to purge an area of my home.
Why?
Well you may have heard me mention a time or two or a million that my kids are getting big. Big enough that I have a playroom full of toys, a garage full of bikes, and drawers full of clothes with zero purpose.
Other than to take up needed space.
Today we attacked the bookcase. I say start where it hurts than the rest will be easy. I hope. So with the my mind set to cut back, I dusted, moved, and purged books. All in all I think I purged about 50 books.
I thought it would be hard but I soon realized that many of the reference books we have are no longer needed. Between Youtube, Google, SweetSearch4me, Online Data bases, and Online Libraries reference books are eating up valuable space.
As I was tossing reference books, into the GoodWill pile, I was stunned that I was turning away from books. At one time in my life I would have swore that I would never replace actual books with technology.
However, those books have been sitting there gathering dust and not being read. Mainly, because all we have to do is go to the Web to look and find the answer.
The world is changing and it is a bit strange to realize that I have a few old fashion ideas.
I wonder how much longer I will keep the rest of my books.
Hope Everyone is Having a wonderful holiday weekend.
