"The Merits of Messiness"

Is everybody's closet clean??? At the dentist office today I was skimming through the Ladies Home Journal (Feb 07) issue and came across an interesting article: It was titled "The Merits of Messiness"
"The idea that clutter can make the world a better place runs counter to everything we've been taught. What's so great about messiness? When you allow disorder, randomness and the unexpected into your world, many good things happen. You save the time and money that you would have spent trying to maintain order. If you have a tightly scheduled calendar, it's easy for something to go wrong, so super-neat people must constantly work at staying in control. But when you're kind of messy, if something unexpected happens you can deal with it more easily. And you also gain tremendous flexibility. For example, when you're tidy, you put that guitar away in a closet. If you're messy, you leave it around where you may happen upon it and rediscover the passion for playing. "

Less is More!

Clean out your closets, get rid of your clutter, throw away garbage, hold a garage sale, get rid of broken stuff or projects you have had longer than two years and have not touched. Give it to a thrift store, or share with someone whether or not they have a need! Get rid of STUFF! DO IT NOW!!!
Thank you!
