Subject: RE: BS: Dec-2010 Declutter & Accountability YES!
Found on FB a few minutes ago:

"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials."
-- Lin Yutang

"The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak." -- Hans Hofmann

I particularly fancy that bit about leaving things undone!

The Christmas lights, however, got done and while not artistic are still pretty and cheerful and Done!

I found not one but three boxes of food in the shed! Trying to figure out how to integrate them into the already crowded Kitchen. That too will happen. Found other neat stuff too, a real treasure hunt into things packed away almost two years ago. Life improves by small increments.

Rob just spent a happy hour figuring out how a mouse was getting into the frig. As the frig does not work anyway, I would not spend 5 minutes on it. On the other hand, maybe he will also convince it to work. THAT would be exciting!
