The past week has been hectic time occupied with family matters. First my parents arrived last Thursday. They rotate between my two sisters and me and stay a few months at a time with each of us. I spent all of Thursday afternoon cleaning up the house especially the basement where they stay. I haven’t worked so hard, physically, in a little while! I worked up a good sweat moving and removing, consolidating and rearranging, throwing away unwanted things and finally cleaning up the house. I have been wanting for a long time to organize all the stuff and reduce clutter in the house. It felt great after all that work to see how much better the place looked. I am a minimalist when it comes to living arrangements. Simpler is better and more beautiful, in my view. Like Tolstoy said, a man only needs six feet of land, enough to bury him.
