Ok, I have a confession to make. I am a bit of a hoarder when it comes to books. Funny thing is, I don't even read much.....at least not on my own for pleasure. Over the last few years it has gotten even worse, especially since we have had children and started homeschooling. I used to teach school and have boxes and boxes of children's books. I have tons that are out that the children and I read regularly, but there are tons that are still boxed.
I also have at least 100 (probably more) cook books. I was just working on cleaning my office, and went through a stack of children's books. In that stack were 2 plant books. We have been learning about plants and have been reading plant books, but I had no idea that these books were here.....
That's when it hit me. I probably checked out 10 plant books from the library that we have read and enjoyed, but I couldn't even find these ones that I owned, nor did I even remember that I had them, so I decided I would donate them to the library. They can store them, keep them organized so others can enjoy them and when we need them, we'll check them out. WOW!!!!! Did I mention that we go to the library every WEEK!!!!! I have a huge box waiting to go with us on Wednesday and will continue going through them.
Words cannot express how free I feel with this new realization.
I also have a stack of cookbooks I have that I am going to go through and then donate. At this point, the only new recipes that I really try are PC recipes, and most of the time when I am looking for something I just go to the internet.
I feel like a new woman!!!!!!
