You Can Never Have Too Much

It's amazing how much stuff I have acquired in my short life. You know how people say, "You can never have too much _____"? Well, there are actually very few things I would put in that blank. Sure, I like to have a lot of yarn and a lot of books, lots of CDs and DVDs, and let's not forget the massive amounts of pillows/blankets/animals to cover my bed. Does that mean I can't have too much of these items? Absolutely not. I know this because I move periodically, and every time I have moved lately I have gotten rid of a box or two of stuff. It feels like it doesn't even dent the pile. There is no way that I use everything I have in my room, and if it takes me a year just to unpack because I don't know where to put it all, I think I have reached the level of Too Much.

Here are some things I would put in that blank:

Hugs (I need to work on this one.)

Baby giggles (Cutest things ever.)

Encouraging words (Others need them too. Instead of seeing the negative, try to think of something encouraging. )

Prayer (Imagine what God would do if we asked Him.)

These are just a few, but as you can see, they aren't things. All of the stuff that I have to sort through every time I move only frustrates me and makes me wish I could throw it all away and start over. The things that I can't have too much of, however, are things that I can have every day and they don't cause clutter.

Have a clutter free day and hug someone!
