Tax Time. Been throwin' stuff out, uncluttering...and what I found is that I ...have...enough. Probably to last a major catastrophie of some kind. got lots of books, including several boy scout manuals, do it yourself stuff...homeopathic remedies, wax, candlewicks,(reading by candlelight when there is no sound but the wind through an open window...Canned foods, staples, cold and hot weather gear, dog foods and treats, more cleaning stuff than I will ever use (on principle) and don't get me started on shoes and old shampoos. The collecting is OVER! Matches, vitamins, old tapes, records, school supplies, boxes filled with evidence of a life moved on from. I HAVE ENOUGH.
Quit telling me I need more to be happy,thinner,healthier,sexier, better educated, protected,fashionable, compassionate, balanced...I will judge that myself and not be manipulated into getting MORE. I HAVE ENOUGH. But I must DO more. YOU?
I HAVE ENOUGH FOOD IN MY PANTRY TO FEED A FAMILY OF 4 FOR A YEAR. DO YOU?
WHY? MANYSISTERS WANTS TO KNOW.

I hear you! Aren't we blessed? And why is it so hard to let it go? I keep telling myself "Simplify, sim plify!" But the clutter keeps building. I guess I need a surgeon's knife, or maybe a really sharp scythe....
I have enough too! I need more or less of what i have. How does one get rid of all the things that support us? As Brad Pitt/Tyler Durden in Fight Club said once, "The things you own end up owning you."
Wise words to live by...
