Thor and garbage bags

Jared is currently enjoying watching "Thor Ragnarok" while I attempted to do my bit for king and country in exercising. We had previously been outside in the humid Alabama soup that is June in God's country. Did 1.3 miles outside which is not too shabby for a day that feels like taking a sauna in your clothing.

While pedaling more indoors, I've been thinking about what it means to "simplify" our lives.

I'm looking at the things around me that I think are important... many of which I haven't touched in a long, long time.

So is it REALLY important, or am I simply too cowardly to give up my "hoard"?

I'm leaning more toward the latter than the former.

Even now, I'm looking at the items that can easily be let go on the piles that form my desk... gee... that escalated... already threw away a pile of junk!!

Need to keep going and free up my LIFE from these piles of stuff that I cannot take into the eternities anyway! And frankly, my kids won't want them.

With Thor, his issues were by and larged solved by enforcing his will with his mighty hammer. With me... it's more like enforcing freedom with garbage bags and willpower.
