I've been doing some remodeling for some friends and the bear of it has been moving all of their stuff from one room to the next. They have a lot of stuff. It has however inspired this....

They need shelves - and
     I mean lots of shelves
     to hold all of their stuff.

Four bedrooms and
     a three car garage
     and still there's not enough.

Not enough room
     not enough storage
     they could stock an entire store

But I thank them
     for they've taught me well
     that sometimes less is more

Gosh, did you write this for me?!!

It fits, except me, in my family no one wants to get rid of things ...

I couldn't agree more with the lesson you learned ... less is more, less gives you the chance to breathe and to maintain order, yes! Feng Shui philosophy is a good thing to follow.

I dream of perfect order, but I wonder when I will reach this ideal.

Enjoyed this greatly! Well done!

Love,
Margherita

I'm a bit of a minimalist, having lots of stuff means having lots of stuff to take care of and I think that just takes away from better options one might have.
