Back with more thoughts from the fog

It has been a while since I posted here. The time has been taken up with too many things I thought I needed to do. It occurred to me that these are my choices and I think I need to choose again. I am not laughing enough. So I decided to streamline the number of things I think I "should" do. So I am cutting back to essentials. I culled my bookcase by looking up the Amazon reviews for the books on my bookshelves. If it was a 3.7 or less and there were at least 100 reviews, they were boxed up for donation someplace still to be determined. This was a great exercise as it whetted my appetite for some really high ranking books. I think there is a 4.8 rated book in my immediate future. As soon as I finish the latest Ann Patchett I am currently reading. Now if only there was a reviewer who could help me go through my closet. I try being honest with myself, but too much honesty just make me want to pull the blankets up over my head in the morning. I hope to put together some extra time in my day so I can let play and mirth back into my life. Spending an hour once in a while watching cute kittens cavort sounds like good medicine if you believe "Laughter is the Best Medicine." A cute basket of kittens probably packs enough preventive medicine to ward of the Black Death. So here's to streamlining my life and breathing new sources of merriment into the spaces that previously were filled with chores.
