clearing out junk

been packing, throwing things away and giving things away these few weeks

suddenly realized that i have been carrying with me junk. those small pieces of scrap paper with gibberish on them... plastic folders that have no more use... old batteries that have died long ago...

i've lived in 4 different places in my 7 years in singapore and i've been bringing some of these junk from place to place... almost wasting the effort of those who helped me move. they were moving junk!

this has certainly been a very good reminder for all things in life. i need to take time to sort through what is in storage physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally and dump out those junk that should have been thrown away long ago. if i didn't take time out to clear them, i would be bringing them from place to place without even knowing. as the years go, it might get heavier and heavier...

maybe this also helps for me to make sure i do carry those things that are worth carrying...
