I have been cleaning since 8:30 this morning. I've made progress but I'm not satisfied. It's so hard to throw things away. I didn't realize how attached I was to little things like stuffed animals and 4th grade notes I passed to my friends. I have been living in the comfort of all my stuff; stuff I have been dragging along with me like a little red wagon through the various stages of my life. I've been wondering why progress has not been made. Maybe because I have been dead set on holding on to the things that once made me laugh, cry, or scream. There are new things in my life that do those very same things. Maybe I should leave the past back there where it belongs.
Dear memories,
You were wonderful. I will miss you dearly. But I'm going to have to lock you up in my mind and throw your trash away.
Love,
Courtney
Now as for the 5 year old hair products and half empty bottles of lotion...
