9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 I My Downsize Adventure can be an overwhelming experience so take it a little at a time. Start with a jewellery box, or pantry shelf or even a sock drawer. This will get you in the mood and not overwhelm you. Take my advice, it can be addictive after a short while. Musical Post-op by Barbara Olson © ClassiCanadian Crosswords Recently my husband and I downsized from our four bedroom, 3 storey home in Nelson to a small 3 bedroom modular home in a 55+ community close to Balfour. Little did we know at the time, just how much work was involved in this. We had 32 years full of memories, old books, furniture, dishes, furniture, ski equipment, a mink stole, and two wedding dresses. There are so many chapters to this adventure, including the pros and cons of getting your house ready to sell, and the choices between selling your house, renting it, renting for the long term, and buying a condo. The part that consumed me the most was the purging of my possessions. DON'T PEEK!

Then my closets had to be sorted out into piles of: keep, recycle and garbage. The next was the basement where I kept a variety of boxes of photos, resaleable items for the local garage sale, and items to give to my family. I quickly realized that selling them on Facebook was not an easy task, especially beds, older style furniture and china. Local charities such as your local church will take a huge variety of items, if they are having a garage sale. Used clothing and book stores will take a number of items, but you need to call first to see if they are taking donations. I ended up giving a number of furniture items to my two kids, and some of my items unfortunately ended up in the dump. If you are looking to declutter, or downsize in the next couple of years, start now to organize your items and where they will go.
