Janitor or Not?

I am THE janitor at the museum.  I clean the toilets(yuck) and empty the trash and scrub some floors and Swiffer and vacuum (Far Guy Vacuums for me on the days he works.)  I dust and I think I am so happy every surface of my home is not like a museum..or is it?

Many wealthy people are little more than janitors of their possessions –Frank Lloyd Wright 

I am not wealthy BUT I still have more than my fair share of possessions.  In the past few days and I have been saying to myself “Self you must get rid of some of your stuff.” and “Self for every one thing you purchase two things should leave the house.”

For a long time I did not buy anything unless it could be used up, eaten or recycled.

( Books can be recycled ..so they don’t count.)

Some people can find a purpose for almost anything!  This Tin Man caught my eye last weekend.

This is a silver plated platter with another dish and a piece of gaudy jewelry..Garden Art!

Certainly some of the “stuff” I have can be reworked to be something special?

I hate dusting..I hate dusting some of my stuff..I hate this time of year when the cobwebs seem to grow by the minute..and if you let them go for a day or two..oh my.

Are you a janitor to your “stuff”?  Have you ever planned to retire from being a janitor to your stuff?  How is that working for you?:)
