Decluttering

I feel very stressed at the moment.  Over the last month or so I feel as though I have been squished under a big pile of rubbish, emotional and physical.  Today, a Sunday so a good day to start, I am really trying to focus on decluttering my mind so I can declutter my life and function more efficiently.  
I have been given a new calling today as a counsellor in the Primary Presidency... funny how most people dread going in to Primary.  Me, I love being around children, there's no rubbish with kids, they say it how it is and I like that.  It has been a spiritual life line when I was about to drown.
I am helping a friend to declutter as she moves house, it is interesting.  It has forced me to look at the things in my home and really ponder whether or not they are necessary.  I have come to the following conclusion: my home should contain things I need to take care of my family and I.  Nothing else.  If it doesn't serve that function, it should not be in my home because it makes me less efficient, and with everything I need to do in a day, I need to be efficient.
Now, I am not talking about getting rid of nice things, like my scrapbooks etc, because even though they don't have a practical function, they do lift my spirits and I really need that.

I may need a skip...

This artwork was allegedly created by the mysterious "Banksy" as a tribute to the Charlie Hebdo shootings (a sad, sad day), but I really love this picture, because to me, it represents the need to "Keep Moving Forward" and the potential to do that even if we have been broken.
