Friday Narrative - Update

I was looking back through old posts and realized I have completely forgotten about the Friday Narrative! Sometimes it's all I can do to get a post together each day (or almost . . .) but I'll see if I can manage to work this back in again.

We've been finding lots of items in the basement lately. My brother, who has a construction business with my dad, has been helping us from time to time with a remodel and since he's coming to visit again in the very near future we're trying to get stuff out his way. It doesn't seem to bother him at all, but it bothers ME when everything gets covered in dust.

There's also a city recycling event coming up in which I hope to get rid of lots of construction debris along with several electronic items that I hate to send to the landfill. Watch for posts on that as we prepare for it.

I love the idea of this project as it reminds me that the 'stuff' we surround ourselves with is not as important as we think. In application it's painful to realize just how attached I am to this 'stuff,' and the love I have for it is pretty sad!

Well, we're over 3 months in now and today I don't know how I'll keep it up through 12 months. Next week I might feel differently - One day at a time.
