Is there a 12 step group for people like me? Today I tackled the magazine basket on my coffee table in the den, right after I hit the catalog basket in the corner. Do any of you hang on to the pretty pictures, the great articles you know you just have to share with somebody, the next best recipe you'll need to cook (whenever you find time for that?)
Well, maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm afraid I'll miss something. That I'll need it and it won't be there. (But in that stack, how the heck I'd find it, I'll never know.)
So today my 27 things turned into more like 40 as I plowed throw these two piles and mercilessly tossed them into the recycled bin.
The juicer I never ordered from Williams Sonoma. Oprah's latest words of wisdom and sage advice. The quaint little hotel in Italy I was going to visit which is probably closed by now the magazine is so out of date.
Letting go of what might have been. It's freeing, actually. No piles crying out to be read AGAIN. No worry about re-finding that article or idea. No cutting out and putting in yet another file or pile.
I'm Kyle... and I'm a recovering Clip-aholic.
