Perhaps I've finally caught the spring cleaning bug? There is something about the warm breeze and sunshine streaming through my dirty windows that makes me long to scrub and clean all the winter grunge out of my home.
(You must understand that I've rarely, if ever, had this urge - I run outside from spring to fall, merrily ignoring all but required house cleaning until I'm confined to the house again come winter. I don't really enjoy house cleaning or get great satisfaction from a gleaming floor. Defective genes I guess!)
But first, I have to get rid of the stuff that has collected! We have a couple extra dressers that have a place but aren't really needed, some clothes that will head to a thrift shop someday soon, a few books that someone else might enjoy. It's all good stuff and it all has a use but it's quickly becoming clutter in my house.
How do I get all this stuff? Why do I hesitate to let it go? Will I really use this stuff some day? Why am I still asking that question after this stuff has sat around for a couple years? Why is it so hard to deal with stuff?

I think it's so hard because it represents our life and none of us want to admit that we are here only for a short time. Just like our stuff!
So... I've posted the same comment twice and both times a word has come up misspelled. I am trying one more time and if it comes up wrong again I will just leave it! :-(
