Maybe I have to write one more blog. Because this morning I realized that in every corner of my house there lurks either PAST LIVES or FUTURE LIVES! Every drawer, or closet, or file cabinet or work bench has olde journals, photographs, or treasures from the Past. OR, there are just as many drawers and shelves full of Future possibilites: eg: clothes that may fit when I lose weight, gourds I may carve and paint when the mood strikes, images and paints I may someday use for collage, dishes I may want for a special dinner, magazines I may want to read on some future vacation...ETC.
Stuff that represents the past or the future...either rebukes or tantalizes me....and SUCKS THE VERY ENERGY OUT OF THE PRESENT! THAT STUFF from yesterday or for tomorrow PARALYZES ME. My friend Suz reminds me that I don't have to keep a library of health books because I have the internet. Friend Mary Ann says I can find the art stuff I need when I need it.
OK ...so, once again, I am determined to deaquisition, declutter, and decide what matters NOW.
