Dear Clutter,
Your time has come. Yes, I know I always say that, but I mean it this time. Get ready. This is going to be some serious work, but I will examine every part of you and determine the state of your health. For some parts of you, I will find a more permanent place of residence in an organized closet. For others, I will find a new home in which you will be able to thrive. And yes, I am sorry to say that there will be some parts of you that just need to be thrown away. However, I will try hard to make it less painful.
I know that you have been very comfortable here. Even though we had more time at home after we moved last Spring, you have eluded our priority lists. Yet, we get more and more annoyed with you. We just can’t ignore you anymore. So get ready for some changes. I am coming for you.
With love from your soon-to-be more organized friend,
This post is a part of the 14th annual Slice of Life Story Challenge. After a few years away, I am challenging myself to write every day in March this year, along with an amazing community of other bloggers. You can find our writing linked up on the Two Writing Teachers blog.
“I am coming for you.” This part resonates with me today as we have been going back and forth all morning – do we go find fun in the warmth of this beautiful spring day, or do we finally clean out the garage?
Oh, I need to write a letter like this to the paper piles (which are always a challenge for me)! “…you have eluded our priority lists…I am coming for you.” Love the determination in these words.
I love your determination!!! Go you! I should allow this letter to inspire me, but instead I’m pumping my fists in the air rooting for you…in the midst of my very own clutter. 🙂 LOL
