It is partly about control for sure. I am a recovered anorexic and I know all about that x 10. Haha. But for me, it's also about sentimentality... about letting go (or actually, about not letting go), it's about doing a lot all at once (which you do as well), and about having many loves and interests. <br /><br />Writing helps me de-clutter. :)<br /><br />I agree that our thoughts create clutter. Definitely.<br /><br />This post is very introspective!Arielle Lee Bairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502836375098709320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879192449061145204.post-76278268733376119242010-01-23T07:08:14.175-05:002010-01-23T07:08:14.175-05:00Roschelle... you are so fortunate to have had a ne...Roschelle... you are so fortunate to have had a neat freak for a mom! My mom, she was never neat. She tried but with 5 kids, our little friends and my dad, I think she gave up on cleaning. <br /><br />She spent a lot of time taking us out for walks downtown, she loved to walk. I think she had the belief that the mess wasn't going anywhere, it would be there when she returned.Susan Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019940790074997076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879192449061145204.post-89595830014380458212010-01-23T07:05:36.116-05:002010-01-23T07:05:36.116-05:00Hi Kim...

What a lo...Hi Susan - My first visit to your blog. What a lot you have to deal with, yet you took the time to write something that can truly help other people. I think of myself as being pretty on top of the clutter, but after reading your words I can see I have a lot of room for improvement. My life has felt stuck lately, and come t think of it I have a basement and attic full of stuff I need to let go of. This will be the year - thanks for the inspiration and sharing your positive outlook on life, even when the going is tough. Bon courage!Kimhttp://www.house-cleaning-howtos.comnoreply@blogger.com
