#Reverb10: Prompt 11, the blog-along - August Update

Wow! summer has flown by and it is time to make August's update to the the #Reverb10 prompt for the blog-along with  MathNerd314 and chemgal18.  If you've missed a few, here are the others if you're interested in checking them out: January, February, March,  April, May, June, and July.

Here is the prompt for those who may have missed the first post:
What are 11 things your life doesn't need in 2011?
How will you go about eliminating them?
How will getting rid of these 11 things change your life?

Things still in progress: 1) 35 pounds, 2) excess stuff,  5)stress, 6) second guessing decisions, 7) procrastination and 8)loneliness

Completed or no longer applicable items: 3) a house(n/a), 4)money stress, 9)single discontent, 10)over-analyzing work situations and 11)lack of traveling

I've been contemplating what to say for my August update and I'm not really sure. There didn't seem to be any earth shattering revelations during the month or any obvious progress. I'm about ready to give up on #1 except I feel healthy and keep getting amazing compliments. As for #2, a friend asked if I'd have another yard sale with her at my house and I said yes. I'm hoping that it will be easier to let things go that I've been holding onto tightly. A massage every two or three weeks seems to be helping with #5. #6 and #7 seem to be a work in progress. August has felt so busy that # 8 hasn't been quite as strong. or maybe I'm just becoming more content with myself and where I am at in life.

Enjoy the waning days of summer!
