So I've decided to expand my blog topic...moving from outdoors landscape to indoors landscape. I guess anyone who follows me will appreciate that in this life in KVille it's either one or the other. And today, I took the first step to beating back the indoor jungle. I emptied box one...in my goal to empty one box a day until I reach ground zero. I may not be able to change everything, but there's no excuse for not changing what I can. Laurel is my mentor. She's holding me to my promise. And maybe just maybe I can be the change that I want to see.
Box One...was file folders...from some long forgotten file cabinet, boxed for ten years without opening...like most of the boxes around here, untouched since we moved in. I saved a bit, shredded a lot and trashed the rest. Found my bachelor's degree, my marriage license, some old family photo negatives and a file of Christmas letters written back in the 80s. Oh and my shot record...you know the one your mom keeps from when you were a baby..sentimental value. That all got saved...well maybe I will pitch that shot record tomorrow. What got trashed.: a folder full of product information from children's toys, a folder full of letters of reference and personnel evaluations from 30 years ago...really relevant stuff, my MSU transcripts the good the bad and the embarrassing. Information about the cost of my dad's funeral...1996...Dad's been gone 15 years this September. Guess I don't need to know the cost of his casket.
Stay tuned, and just so you know...I really respond to applause!!
