All to little avail. After thirteen years of trying to organize and occasionally getting rid of a few, or even several boxes of old files and magazines, my floors and every horizontal surface are covered with STUFF. Now, of course I either cannot find what I need or have to searc for hours or days, in many cases.

The saddest part of all is that I am retired and my clutter has to be faced every day and all day. When I read this little article, I realized why my current efforts to get back control are not going well.

Finally, I also found why my recent vacations have been to remote parts of the earth and on long small ship cruises where it was possible to go up on deck and see nothing but the ocean and sky. What a relief that was. Now, I must finish because the house is going up for sale.
