There's no better way to take stock of your life than to do spring cleaning. I've been doing that this past weekend and let me tell you that while I have a bunch of really great stuff that I'm really quite fond of, I've also got a bunch of utter crap that I have no idea why I purchased it at the time. Or even why I felt so compelled to save any of it. I find myself thinking about the flea market that I like to go to every once in a while here in Nashville. There are just vendors upon vendors with all this stuff--and to the casual eye it looks like so much junk. And then I find myself thinking that to the person who purchased it and held onto it, it had some meaning, so intrinsic value to them that made them want to save it. And I hope that someday when I die and all my stuff is sold to someone who takes it to a flea market that people don't say--what the heck was anyone thinking collecting all these old episodes of Doctor Who on VHS and DVD?
Oh wait...people say that about my massive collection of Doctor Who vids and DVDs anyway....
But I think you get the point...
