Day 358 – Boxes to Stumble Over
Anyone who knows me well understands that I like to have a
fairly tidy home. I don’t try to live in
a museum, and it's usually true that my desk is cluttered and in disarray. But in general, I like to keep my home in
such a state that when unexpected guests arrive, I don’t have to hurry to close
a door or hide a sink full of dishes.
However, when one has just moved into a new home, boxes and out-of-place possessions are to be expected. Navigating through them in the early morning may be difficult, but not a big deal (as long as you can find the clothes you need and can manage a decent breakfast). And
even though there are moments when I wish I had a lot less and could start
over, I am reminded that these things were accumulated over a long period and
represent memories of accomplishment and success. Sometimes it’s not a bad thing to be
stumbling over a box or bag. Sometimes
it means more than clutter.
