Like most Americans I have a lot of stuff. Not that any of it is worth any monetary value. But it’s just a bunch of well—stuff. It’s hard to categorize all the
things I possess; lots of papers, versions of unpublished manuscripts, basketball drills,
notes from clinics, magazines, school worksheets and diagrams, adaptors, cords of
all sorts of old electronics, and even a blow up mattress that doesn’t really
hold air anymore. All these things, I guess, I thought I’d hold onto and sell
in a garage sale or I’d just file away another day, but that day never came and
more stuff got piled on top of that stuff. I’m not like a total hoarder, but I
have too many things that I don’t need.
I have a
two car garage that’s full and only one car. I also have a spare room, guest
room or whatever you want to call it. (I don’t get too many overnight guests
these days and I only have a twin bed in there so I guess it’s best to refer to
it as the spare room.) You know what they say today’s as good as any day to
start something you’ve been meaning to do. Actually I started last week, but I’m
keeping my organization and purging project front and center and doing a little
purging each week. I want to get rid of all these things that have no value or
no emotional bearing on my life so I can make room for something else. I don’t
know what I’m making room for, but I’m making room. Maybe it’s merely an
overnight guest, maybe it’s a housemate, maybe it’s just sanity and peace of
mind. Whatever it is I hope it finds its way to me soon because even though I don’t
know exactly what’s coming down the pike . . . I know I’m getting ready for
something and that’s kinda exciting in and of itself!
