Today was a sorting day, for thoughts and things and memories. I bagged some household rubble and took it to the park with the kids to paw through and decide what to do with. The last six years have been 100% chaos with no letup. I don't like being dragged around by fate.
Somehow stuff has accumulated and life has become unmaintainable.
I don't want it that way, I don't like it that way, but it has grown that way in bits and pieces over time.
So, I don't want to own more than I can reasonably maintain. I am grateful to God for the things He didn't give me, that I could never reach. I think He knows what's best for me in the long run.
With all of the events and disasters happening, and people dying unexpectedly, I think the best way to live is as though we might breathe our last breath at any moment. From that perspective, I must let go all that is nonessential to day to day existence. If I were to cease living, thinking, breathing, what would I leave behind for the people whom I love?
