It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.

There is m...Thanks for inspiring this post Rebecca!<br />There is much conflict in being human. <br />Honesty is recognizing those frailties and contradictions.<br />Although we have lofty ideas of who we would like to be,<br />the fact is that we are human and will likely never fit into our own idea of ourselves.<br />There is the junk in the yard and the ghosts in the closets, but there are raw emotions that are part of being a whole human being.<br />I have been known to be rude and mean at times. <br />I have been angry and spiteful.<br />I have been cruel and thoughtless.<br />The fact is that being a whole human encompasses all of the emotions; both good and bad.<br />And though I often make no apologies, I do ask forgiveness for allowing my passions to control my actions.<br />Raw honesty helps me feel more comfortable in my own skin, <br />but it hasn't always been palatable to those around me.<br />That is unlikely to change.Andrew von Zubenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15029076202802686416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922873875727546851.post-3730217197901025122012-05-01T17:33:25.430-07:002012-05-01T17:33:25.430-07:00I think that there is a healthy level of dirt and ...I think that there is a healthy level of dirt and clutter.<br />You would like people to be comfortable in your home?<br />I have been in homes that are so clean that I feel uncomfortable in them.<br />There is a lot of bark and sawdust in our driveway which I find adds charm.<br />As much as I would like things pristine, "in their place" will do just fine.<br />And,the carpet idea is great! I'll keep that in mind for controlling our Aspen suckers.Andrew von Zubenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15029076202802686416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922873875727546851.post-43988969430739738022012-05-01T17:20:04.514-07:002012-05-01T17:20:04.514-07:00That's good advice.

(i hope that i am writing and conveying this with some level of clarity :) so, that is why i read. show me your successes and your garbage pile .... it makes it REAL to me. <br /><br />also, your "stash" made me smile. it is just like yarn or fabric .... but larger !rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06395342172479625640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5922873875727546851.post-32571889162180057042012-05-01T10:15:14.541-07:002012-05-01T10:15:14.541-07:00Don't we all have those moments!

I re-use, create, do whatever with them.I have an old oriental carpet outback on top of an area I cleared and wanted to make sure that it would remain so. <br />We are lucky enough to be in an area, that anything we drag to the front will be gone in a few days.<br />My house...I'd love for it to be pristine, but it never is, and never will be. I have better things to do. I try to keep it at a level where no one will be uncomfortable being in it. That's all.
