STUFF, STUFF, AND MORE STUFF

The Perspective is busy cleaning out the house. It is just amazing the amount of stuff that accumulates. Where does it all come from. It could be that shell you picked up on the beach, or some colored glass, or the dozen pens and pencils that were heaved upon you at ComFish. The magnet you picked up on vacation, or the soap that you brought home in your luggage, it just keeps building. A pack of matches from a restaurant, or a velvet bag from a bottle of Crown, or those Mardi Gras beads you’ve had for years. Tee shirts from events you’ve been to, or took park in, or the extra buttons that came with a shirt.

Useless, useless, useless, time to throw things away. How hard is it to throw these things away. When the real question is why is it here in the first place? The funny thing is that the Kodiak Perspective is not materialistic, and yet it still comes, like dust, covering every surface.

Toss it away, but the stuff is like a boomerang, it just comes back, and brings it’s friends. The worst part about clearing out the stuff is the closets. You can empty a closet, and the house looks no cleaner.

Progress is being made in the war on stuff, but the battle is still raging at the home of the Kodiak Perspective.

Hey KP - try moving onto a boat! The urge will be overwhelming to throw all the clutter overboard.
