Never gets all the way through the clutter, but my life is lightened up and made clearer at least for a while. I say this as I retrieve the box into which I dumped the unsorted stuff when I last cleared surfaces. Must follow David Allen's advice and deal with every piece in the pile in order. Good luck on that one. <br />Kudos to you for your honesty and self-observation!lucyfreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11518528686859413963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473497065964309096.post-18867071024306905242009-10-10T13:52:35.850-07:002009-10-10T13:52:35.850-07:00Well said, Edie!

Sad choice, between being a patriot and being a citizen of the world! <br />I am glad the committee went out on a limb and gave it to him now. I hope it helps him stay focused on paths to peace.lucyfreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11518528686859413963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473497065964309096.post-87456430566749378742009-10-10T08:13:37.475-07:002009-10-10T08:13:37.475-07:00ooops, I meant "so" not "to", ...ooops, I meant "so" not "to", in any case, thank you for often writing what it is I am feeling but can't always articulate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473497065964309096.post-88480276512032120322009-10-10T08:11:38.108-07:002009-10-10T08:11:38.108-07:00Thank you Edie, you write to eloquently and to the...Thank you Edie, you write to eloquently and to the point on these matters!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473497065964309096.post-67489877698141250272009-10-10T05:38:33.749-07:002009-10-10T05:38:33.749-07:00Happy Birthday, Edie!
