Materialism...

the light


So we live in a materialistic world, right? Right. Here's the thing. I've got a confession to make. I'm a bit of a pack rat. I've got too much junk. And I've been thinking. You can't take it with you.

I know that's kind of obvious, but there was an episode of one of those 'cleaning house' shows and the hostess asked a pack rat Dad something like, 'So you've got fewer years ahead of you than you have behind you... you going to leave all this to your kids to clean-up?' I think she has a point. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to part with my treasures, but I think I need to go ahead and throw out the 'trash'. One man's trash is another man's treasure is how we'd like to say it, but reaally, it's still trash. I think I need to start cleaning up, and divesting myself of the trash. Some of the treasure has de-evolved to trash.

Yes, simply put, I need to clean the shed out... I'm starting to see the light.
