We Have Too Many Things In Our House
Author: siggyWe have too many things in our house. And that has me depressed. I want greater order in our house. I don’t know how to get there.
There are too many books, too much music particularly LP’s, too many knickknacks, electronic, computer and stereo equipment. Some of it is broken down and other equipment is obsolete.
I just want to throw away some stuff, give it away, whatever. Some of it is not mine. It belongs to my wife. I don’t know how to straighten up our house. I am surrounded by things.
I just want to throw up my hands. I don’t know where to start. It is driving me crazy. The disorder that is. I want to say “abracadabra” and wake up and most of the stuff is gone. I just don’t know what to do.

I really enjoy your blogging, Siggy. Everything that you write is FOOD for THOUGHT……and I like having that kind of food for my mental snacking. Like so many Americans, I have too much stuff, too. AND, being a bit of a “messnik,” I do not always see the disorder that exists. BUT, when I do, I GO CRAZY. I have a friend who can put order to anything, and she will tell me “throw it, donate it, give it away” and I often listen. In order to make order, you have to get really tough with your Self. No whining. No begging. No talking yourself out of good-bye and into I’ll-throw-you-away-next-time. ARGH. It’s awful, but when you see the space in order, you are filled with joy, delight, vision!!!!!! Sigh. I had better go straighten my closet. LOL

That is a source of a lot of turmoil in our household–clutter. I don’t always see see the dirt but the clutter drives me nuts.

I am struggling with messes all the time. There are too may “miscellaneous” spots in this house.
