Dear Daughters: Stuff

(Via Pinterist )

Dear Daughters,

Words have baggage too,

and the word

STUFF

is no different.


As in…

*too much stuff

(picture cabinets , drawers, closets, garages, and the occasional storage unit),

*to stuff oneself 

(you get the picture),

and the common cry of this era,

*I have so much STUFF to do.


I think that is why I have always admired Jack Reacher

of Lee Child novel fame-

he has no STUFF.

So what is the answer?

I don’t know,

(you’ve seen my garage)

but
I keep working on it-

some days better than others.


If you ever feel like you have too much stuff to deal with,

’you came by it honest’,

as Papa would say.


We are after all collectors/explorers/finders.

I can offer one bit of advice:


Keep giving STUFF away

and focus on the GOOD STUFF.

 

Love,

Mom
