Stuff

A week of organizing and stowing and removing unnecessary and/or weighty items. I told my friend Don that I was overwhelmed. He grinned, and said, "Well, that's just life. Even if you weren't leaving the country, you'd feel overwhelmed." It gave me something to ponder for several hours -- the extent to which overwhelm is necessary to achieve our goals in the midst of chaos and the extent to which we allow overwhelm to define our lives.
