Spring Cleaning

Stuff accumulates –

that old wrap-around skirt-dress combo

that I could never figure out, the one

that made my grandkids laugh out loud.

What was I thinking?

Mail, magazines, receipts,

those old orange crocs,

out-worn ideas,

old judgements prematurely made,

 tax returns dating

back to the beginning of time –

and speaking of time,

the time is now not then

and so I begin,

piece by piece,

deciding what to discard

and what to keep.

    I’m in the same boat as you…doing a little Goodwill bag at a time. We should get together for lunch soon. Let me know what is good for you. I am open Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays.

    Oh to know you are not alone, accumulation out of control. But I might need this, not. The heart says keep the mind says donate or destroy. This time the mind wins.
