Sarah, at Clover Lane, spends Lent getting rid of forty bags of stuff throughout the forty days of Lent.  Last year I attempted it, but didn’t succeed.  This year I have decided on a new tact.

I have collected forty grocery bags and will fill each of those bags through the forty days of Lent.  As I go through paperwork, a bag may be filled up with paper to be recycled.  As I go through my son’s toys, a bag may be filled up with toys.  And, of course, all of my Goodwill items will go in a bags as opposed to the box which sits in my garage.

What is going to make this year different?  I already have the bags set out and ready to be filled.  The bags are all grocery sized bags, which are not too overwhelming.

As I continue to get rid of things in order to simplify our lives, I look forward to this project.  Will you join me?
