Simplifying my life.

Everything has a season. I guess this is my season of simplifying.  I cleaned out the attic yesterday, box after box of useless junk that at sometime meant something to me. It is like I am somewhat detached from the process. Things I wouldn't dream of parting with two years ago I am parting with easily, almost too easily. I guess it is a realization that at 55 I have only a small amount of time left, and how do I want to spend it?  Maybe it is the fact that my daughter's lovely home burned & nearly everything was lost, so what do we really need?  Altho, in truth, I started this process many months ago.  Of course the grandsons figure in to the equation.  I need more time to free to help with them, and I no longer have the luxury of free time to sort, & clean & dust so many possessions.  Dust if you must, but I'd rather be spending time with those I love..  Photos and memorabilia have so far been spared.  But as for the rest, I am pitching it, be forwarned.
