The shit chronicles continue...

Day four of our new home the sewer backs up. I will kindly spare you the juicy details. I will, however, dive into the obvious.

I believe that life is full of messages or signs. The key is to listen. Apparently I did not head the previous lesson. So like a good zen student I cleaned the bathroom three times yesterday before & after it was snaked, wax-on/wax-off style open to receiving the message. It was clear get rid of the shit in your life.

Appropriate since we've only just unpacked in our 10th living space. Our original count was off. Pat & I have had ten living rooms, bedrooms, etc in our years together. Some spaces have been more challenging than others, but the physical space we occupy is nothing compared with the inner dialogues we live with and cart around.

Assuring that our inner living room is as clutter free and yes, shitless is imperative.

So my challenge in this revolutionary shit removal is this:
Find one item daily that no longer serves me or my family and give it a better home.
