It will not surprise you to learn that tidying & cleaning IS therapy for me, and I do it on purpose to wind down. I also like to go outside and pull weeds and trim dead leaves from my plants…which I suppose is just tidying my yard 😂

Timely post, Ms. Sara. Just this a.m. I got up early to head to the basement where all of my life's history is stored in boxes with the goal of throwing it all out. Two hours later I was reading my Jr. High principal's letter to my parents for why I would be suspended, again, for three days because of "fighting" in 1975. I laughed and went on to the next box only to find several other suspension letters.

I threw out some old motorbike magazines, a collection of ties from the 90's from a previous life, and got stuck in a second box for an hour re-reading old grade school report cards and trying to figure out which kid I was in the old class pictures. I do have a nice collection of vintage disc golf news and journals, old discs, and two boxes of trophy's from my "pro-open" years that would look better out of my basement than in.

Jeez. Only 20 more boxes to go. One of them has an old cast from when I broke my arm skateboarding our backyard ramp in the early 70's. Good, precious stuff like that.

You have motivated me to have another go, perhaps tomorrow, this time with my eyes closed.
