I’ve often heard people beating the same old drum, “I don’t want a lot of stuff to dust,” as their reason for minimalism. Well, I hate to break the news to you: The entire universe is made of gas and dust. So, whether or not you have a bunch of bric-a-brac upon which dust will accumulate, understand that it’s still accumulating. So don’t deny yourself. No sooner than you finish reading these words, run straightaway to the nearest knick-knack store and buy a vase!
Okay, that was my anecdote for the day. The reality? Clutter gives me the heebie-jeebies. The only time I want to coexist with clutter is when walking through a forest; otherwise, I abide by the concept: less is more.

I’ll be on vacation for the next 10 days, but I look forward to getting up to speed on everyone’s blogs upon my return.
