The urge to purge
Confession: I have too much stuff, particularly clothing. These days when I look at the two-sided garment rack which is stationed outside of the closet large enough for me to step inside of, I feel weighed down and vaguely embarrassed. It's too much.

My house would be cleaner. Right now a twice weekly vacuuming, paired with a weekly bathroom cleaning and a more sporadic schedule of dusting, is the best I can do. I would bake my own bread - sans high fructose corn syrup and other bogus ingredients. The thank you cards and other correspondence I would … Continue reading If I had two more hours in a day…
