Now Or Never?

I have always thought that it was never too late for anything.  As a result, I rarely started anything or, even less frequently, finished anything.  While enjoying watching the world go by, happy in the belief that I could start my life tomorrow, I became aware that I need to be doing more about achieving what I want to do and being where I want to be.
In earnest, I started throwing out junk that I had been holding onto.  I started just tossing anything that annoyed me (broken things I always figured I would repair but which instead got lost in boxes).  That was a really good feeling. 
Then I found a box of old photographs.  I went through every picture and tossed all the ones that I hated.  A lot of them were in the lost photo box because I just didn't want to look at them anyway.  They were of old boyfriends, people I never really liked, occasions I didn't enjoy, people I didn't remember, mistake pictures when the camera went off in the bottom of my purse, etc.  TALK ABOUT LIBERATING!!  I was raised that pictures were the most important posessions you could have and I believed it.  Some of those photos were 30 years old and I couldn't throw them out simply because they were photographs and it was a sin to throw out photographs.  Boy, do I feel better!!  It was like taking a really long shower after a week long camping trip!  I am reborn!
Okay, I am getting really into the project of minimizing.  My downstairs neighbors moved out today.  Oreo and I passed them on our way out this morning.  I was watching their crew loading furniture and boxes onto a U-Haul and I just kept thinking "That will not be me when the time comes."  I'm going to have a suitcase and maybe my backpack and that's it.  I want enough for one checked bag and a carry on and that's it.  (If I can manage to put it all in a carry on then so much the better!)
The universe is screaming "SIMPLIFY!"
