Change of Seasons: The Sorting

When you have a child, there is the time of the year that you switch their clothes for the season and remove those that are too small or you know will be too small next season. Today I need to go through Caroline’s summer and winter clothing and remove that which is too small along with putting away her summer clothing until next year.

As you age there are things that you have to sort out both physically and mentally. Some things are hard to get rid of and others you are glad to have done with. Yes, there are times I wish I could go back and tell my younger self to be kinder to my body so it would be in better shape now. I honestly don’t think I would listen to myself.

I find that when I am physically sorting, I tend to mentally sort through things. The activity seems to fire up that part of my brain. Right now I have a lot that mentally I need to sort through to get to the next step whatever that step turns out to be.

So today is all about clothing. Caroline’s and the laundry. I can get this all done before she comes home from school.

I am grateful for things that are in place and in order.

A suggestion for those who have the power

to nominate for the Nebulas and the Hugos.

I ask that you consider "Bronsky's Dates with Death" which can be found online here

I think it is one of the best things Peter has written and the end always brings a tear to my eye.
