Looking for a Clean Slate

By the way, I’ve reached the point where I’d like to throw out everything currently in the Random Condo and start over from scratch. At this point I would keep all of the bookcases, most of our books and our clothes, but everything else would go into the bin. Maybe I’d keep a few plates and glasses and some silverware too.

I think I’m holding on to too much stuff, I think. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to dig through everything and Mr. Random is as big of a packrat as I am. It is also a pain to have to go through and make sure that some stuff doesn’t need to be shredded instead.

I’m really in the mood for a clean slate. A new start. I’m carrying much too much baggage at this point to transition very well. It’s hard to start fresh when you are still mired in your old stuff – whether a job you don’t like, a house you aren’t happy with, etc.

I’ve always loved the Fall because of those qualities – the year starts anew! During the summer you rest up and then the Fall comes with a lots of possibilities to start over. This summer was not very restful at all. Not as much reading was done as I had hoped. Not as much fun was had. I don’t know what that means . . . maybe this is just going to be a hard year for me and next year will be so much better. That thought does give me some cheer . . .
