Snow in Canton, TX!

Here in Canton, TX, and we have gotten around 7" of accumulation. This is the most for the Dallas area for as long as records have been kept, around 111 years.

Of the things we think, say or do:

  1. Is it the TRUTH?
  2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
  3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
  4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Uncluttering

About a week ago, I reached a tipping point. For those of you who have read Malcolm Gladwell's book by the same name, you should understand. If you haven't, take a look at the previous Wikipedia article, and read the book. It's a quite informative read.

It seems to me that your life is to some degree a reflection of the world around you.

So, since the world around me was hopelessly messy, so was my life. I decided to get rid of stuff, but I hated to throw it away. Why? Because somebody can get some use out of. What better way to pass your, ummm... esoteric stuff along to somebody else? eBay!

Thus starts my eBay frenzy:

View all items...

And, my newest favorite innovation: the grab bag! I don't want to list a lot of stuff individually. So, large swaths of the items that I no longer want I have bagged up and listed as "grab bags." Buy one and help me out. Please! There are a total of 27 grab bags. I am listing 9 a day for the next 3 days (including today).

Everything must go as I have started to slide down this slippery slope of purging. The act is liberating, but the end result must be sweeter.
