Judith and I are on a quest to clean out our house and become more minimalistic. Actually, we just want to be able to walk across a room in a straight line. We are quickly realizing that it not as easy as it appears. Using the advice from some friends we adopted the “Start in one corner” principle. This is proving to be difficult because as you start in one corner you have to pass several other corners to get to the corner you started in. Which lead to several projects going at the same time, intensifying the mess.
Then you have the “Personality Clash” problem. That’s when one party wants to start over by emptying the entire house by using a match and some kind of accelerant (only kidding) and the other wants to go through everything before parting with it. At the same time, we need to take care of our daily routine and deal with all the children wanting to hold on to everything they own because it’s so special.
It’s strange how your heart gets attached to the useless junk in your life that we all call possessions. I know we will get through this, it’s just going to take time, which is something neither one of us have a lot of.
