"There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly."-Buckminster Fuller

The B's spent the day with me.  MB did her laundry while her daughter LB helped me throw out two bags of stuff from my bedroom.  We consolidated half the closet and the whole bookcase. It would have been overwhelming without LB's help.  "I have to be strong and throw that piece of paper out."  Feng Shui says a life without clutter is a more focused, less stressed life.  It is so hard; it really is to let go. However, it is working.  In a fortune cookie my young friend found a saying about "Getting rid of the past will help make way for the future."
