Paper into the blue bin

For many years I have enjoyed clipping recipes and articles from magazines and newspapers.  Recipes generally were put into a binder kept in the kitchen.  Other clippings were filed away in folders kept in file boxes.  Four large boxes have lived in a cut-out space under our bathroom counter for many years.  As part of the moving preparations, I have begun sorting through these boxes.  Yesterday I finished the second box, managing to eliminate one box of papers.  Yea, me!  Of course, there are some loose papers now that need to be reconsidered.  For example, programs of events I accompanied, words to hymns, receipts from plane tickets.  Some of these will probably be tossed, others kept.  I would like to recycle another box of papers, or even two.  Perhaps that's only a dream.  But it feels so good to have made this much progress!
