断捨離開始宣言 皆様、明けましておめでとうございます。
還暦になったら始めようと思いつつ早や4年が経ちます、断捨離！
小さい頃は物が少なく、また買えずに過ごしてきたので、物を大切にいつまでも使
うことが身に付きこれが性分となりました。例えば小1の時に買ってもらった筆箱
（昭和時代のチャックの付いたやつ）は中3まで9年間使っていました。もう絶対
に使わないだろうと思う物でさえ妙に愛着が残っていて捨てるのが勿体ないと思っ
ているうちに気付けばこの歳です。
　心の中の思い出などは過去を引きずらない方だと思いますが、物となるとどうも。 そこで、私の今年の抱負、断捨離開始！     "Happy New Year, everyone. It's already been four years since I thought about starting to declutter when I turned 60. When I was young, I had few possessions and couldn't afford to buy many things, so I learned to cherish and use what I had for as long as possible, and this became a part of my nature. For example, the pencil case I got in first grade (one with a zipper from the Showa era) I used for nine years until I was in ninth grade. Even for things I'm sure I'll never use again, I find myself oddly attached and feel it's a waste to throw them away, and before I knew it, I've reached this age. I think I'm not the type to dwell on past memories in my mind, but when it comes to physical objects, it's a different story. Therefore, my resolution for this year is to start decluttering!"
