40 Bags In 40 Days

As we approach the final week in Ordinary Time and the start of the new Liturgical Year on December 1st, this little project called, 40 Bags In 40 Days might be one way to help us observe Advent and move a step closer to "detachment" and the simplifying of our lives.  The project consists of filling 40 trash bags over a period of 40 days of things we don't really need, things that clutter up our closets, our rooms, our homes, our attics, our garages, or our offices.   One women said she did it, felt so much "lighter" and can't even remember what went into the bags!  Isn't that the case with all of us...so much STUFF, that we don't even know what it is, or why we kept it, (always in the hopes that "someday I might need this")?  A little time each day to fill up a bag wouldn't kill us, and certainly at the end of the 40 days, we'd be amazed at how much room we have, besides having helped others by passing on clothing or household items we don't use or need any more.  Just a thought.
