Organization inspired by Jane Austen (day 98)

-Spent the day organizing and minimizing my belongings after some long and hard contemplation.  I want to live as close as I can get to a minimalist lifestyle.  I am fully aware that my sock habit doesn't really bode well for my trying this out.

-I've gotten rid of many, many things thus far.  It makes me feel good inside to do this.

-Also going to try focusing less on technology and a little more on my personal relationships.  After all, I'm mot going to get to the end of my life and wish I'd spent more time on the internet.

-Also started reading A Jane Austen Education and so far it has proved worth spending my time on. In the book he talks about the importance Austen puts on the "little particulars" and it made me realize that these are the threads with which the fabric of our lives is woven.  Anyway, I've always been a huge Jane Austen fan and it's interesting that the author is male and giving his perspective on what he learned from Austen, someone he'd considered an author of "chick lit" and not worth his time.
