I got the tree out. There are needles all over the house and in the back of the van.

I've been sitting around thinking those kinds of thoughts, and realizing a few things: 1. It's not easy letting go of things that you claimed to yourself--and others--were important. 2. It's not a binary operation: "keep this" or "discard that", because: 3. We're really re-visiting purpose and meaning in our lives. We need to refine those in order to have a funnel that shows us what stays and what goes. This is when I become a bit envious of those who can cut and paste life without thinking twice about it!
