Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

Thank you for the welcome. It brings comfort to a new comer. What is your website? Do you have a book out?
I wrote my first book, A Healing Heart, a memoir which was published November 6, 2006. I'm working on my second book titled Please God, Not Two. It's based on the true story of me living with and losing a husband and daughter from alcoholism. My husband died in 1985 and my daughter last November 22, 2006, sixteen days after the release of A Healing Heart.
Visit my site www.ahealingheart.net. I had a video made about my book.
Hope to hear from you again. Tell me about yourself.
