I love to toss things out, to walk into a room and feel the calm that comes after the decluttering storm.
But my mind is often cluttered. I worry about my need for new kitchen cabinets and for fresh paint in the hallway. Even in my modest home, our home improvement project list is always a year or two longer than our budget. Always.
Sometimes I forget that just a few generations ago, indoor plumbing was a luxury. Sometimes I forget that there are people in the world who have walls that sing in the wind.
I could stand to let go of a few more things.
