Stuff

How do we accumulate so much stuff? Stuff here, stuff there. Stuff stuffed in boxes and corners and shelves.

I cleaned out my closet today, well part of it. Clothes that have been hanging there for more than one season without being worn once. Too small, too stained, too uncomfortable. I ended up with a huge garbage bag full of "stuff" to donate.
I still need to go through the dressers and the other closet in the spare room to get rid of more "stuff".
I've also begun to go through the file cabinet and boxes of papers that have been "stuffed" in there and are now so full that I can't "stuff" anymore "stuff" until I clean them out and shred the old "stuff".
I have some shelf's that have "stuff" on them that I need to go through also. Magazines, books, maps. Just "stuff".

I've sold "stuff" on Ebay. Now other people have my "stuff" that I didn't need.

I help take care of my mother-in-law. She will be 82 years old in two weeks. She likes to keep "stuff"....bunches and bunches of "stuff". I mean a LOT of "stuff". So much "stuff" that she has no idea what she has or where she may have "stuffed" it! Today I helped her search for her safe deposit box key which was like searching for the needle in the haystack.
Now that the weather has cooled down some and my husband is going to be on vacation for two weeks she has agreed that we need to go help her clean out and organize her "stuff".

At least I know that when I go to my Fathers house in Eternity I won't have to mess with a bunch of "stuff"!!
