Liberated!

I am feeling on top of the world! Ok, so it’s only the junk mail world but I am feeling so FREE! I have been imprisoned by junk mail. A pile of it is delivered to my mailbox daily. To protect myself from identity theft or fraud, I must spend time opening each piece and then sending anything with identifying information through the shredder. When the shredder container is full, I put the shredded paper into the recycling bin to rid myself of any guilt for trashing paper in the garbage instead of giving it new life as, how about toilet paper? Yes, how fitting, junk mail recycled as toilet paper. Oh, wow, now I’m not only feeling liberated this morning, I am feeling empowered!

Such elation only took one telephone call to 1-888-567-8688 to stop the credit card solicitations from coming for five years! While I was at it, I stopped my 22 year-old daughter’s and my soon to be in college-age daughter’s credit card solicitations too. They don’t need the temptation and I don’t want their junk mail.

After making the call, I thought, Why stop here? And went online to stop the Val-pack coupons. In the future, if I need my carpets, windows washed, or windshield tinted I can ask a neighbor for their junk mail or help myself to their recycling bin. There is always the option of the telephone directory or the Internet for business searches.

If you are feeling bogged down today, do something you’ve been procrastinating and check it off your list!
