There is a new series on Netflix called Tidying Up starring Marie Kondo. She is an organizing expert/guru and her book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up is a best seller. Good show to watch and if the task is overwhelming… call me, I am the expert/guru of Las Vegas with no time to write a best seller but will guarantee your tears of “overwhelm-ment” will turn to those of joy and satisfaction when our task is complete.

I recently heard it said: “Have more, want more. Want more spend more. Spend more worry more.” Truer words were never spoken. The more stuff we have the more we seem to crave and want. Then we go buy more, perhaps on credit but no matter what method we use to purchase more, then we worry about paying off that debt or why we have less cash. Or we worry about where we are going to store the stuff. Life becomes chaotic and zaps energy that could be used elsewhere.
So, I revised the quote to: Have less need little. Need little spend less. Spend less worry less. Life is good.
The post holiday blues usually hit in January when all the decor comes down and the darker shorter days bring melancholy. That is when I sit down and re-read all the Christmas greetings received from friends and family. I also update my address book, clean out old emails, sort through my contact list, and re-boot for the new year.
Then I look at that pile of Christmas greetings and wonder what to do with it all? Photos, kinds words, lovely cards… but guess what? New ones will arrive in the mail in 12 months with new news and updated photos and so it’s OK to throw away the current ones. If you’ve answered any that need a response, dispose of them with no guilt. It’s OOOOKKKKK.
