The last few days I’ve been looking around at all the STUFF I own and wondering why the @#$x%x do I have so much of it?? And why is it so damned hard to let go of????

I get annoyed with the “organizing” theories that tell you to go out and buy pretty baskets to keep your junk in. I know the main problem I have is that there is simply too much junk in my life. I try to imagine what I would take with me if, for example, a hurricane is bearing down on me and I have only a few hours to gather what will fit into the car and know that everything I leave behind will be destroyed. What would I take? If it’s not worth taking with me, why do I have it? So my new self-talk while I’m organizing is “why am I organizing this?”
Today I am tackling my desk, which I know has some unpaid bills on it but I can’t see them for the clutter.
