MUM AND PUP in Postcards 4

I was amazed at how many mysteries that I was able to pull from the bedroom bookcases. I thought I had gone through them a year or so ago. There they are, two armfuls waiting in the hall to go downstairs. When I carry them down and add them to the plastic boxes, they seem so much less.

On and off during the day, I reread Christopher Buckley’s tome “LOSING MUM AND PUP.” Published by 12Books which strives to published 12 singular books a year. I truly wish I could have articulated my feelings about both my father and mother’s death’s as clearly as Christo did. I’m not getting rid of this book, as I find I am truly moved by it.

Be ruthless says the Konmari projecct. Get rid of everything. Of all my gathered belongings I now have in my life I love my books. They all give me joy, and it has been really hard to dig though these shelves to discard volumes that no longer apply, that are no longer used. I have not really been ruthless, but I’ve given it a good go.

CD’s and DVD’s are next.
