To answer your question, you can edit a post within 24 hours of making it, by using the little icon with a pencil and piece of paper. This was a nice poem though. Arana Darkwolf |

As I have been trying to clear out the old things also,I was drawn to this and understand completely. I still have my old junior high papers and letters from the late 1940's. I have tried but heck; Let the kids do it. They will haul in a dumpster and just toss. I have a hard time doing it,they will not like the job but it will be easier for them in the long run.

Enjoyed this as I look around at all I am TRYING to organize~~~ but when you stop to read or look at each item it seems to take forever as memories take hold.  M |

Shalisadefa: I enjoyed this poem very much. Most of us can identify with the problems/memories/trauma involved with de-cluttering. Thanks for sharing. See you are in Suriname: I spent a wonderful three years in Guyana in the 80s. Good memories. Sutra 4: Do not expect your Path to be smooth. It will have rocks, slippery portions, and parts that are washed away completely. Persevere. |
