echos of the past

lately i've been attempting to chip away at the clutter in my apartment. its time consuming and weird. when i flip through old papers and find old receipts its eerie. i spent this much on that three years ago?  scar-ry . i've gone through old greeting cards that i have saved from relatives who have passed away. its heartwarming to read them but hard to throw away . it would have been easier to have thrown them out years ago when i still had the possibility of receiving another card from them.
rifling through clutter is also frustrating. no matter how much i toss it still seems like a mess. then again its kind of like weight gain and weight  loss. it takes awhile to accumulate and just as long to get rid of.                                         all of the purging of clutter i have been doing lately has had an impact on my spending habits. the more stuff i buy the more i have to reorganize and toss later so i haven't been buying as much stuff.
