The purge has started. I'm getting rid of the extra shit in my life. So far it's only been unused email addresses and phone numbers. If I won't ever call or write someone, then I really don't need to retain that info.

The purge has been going in other ways since the beginning of summer. I'm culling my friends or something. Making less time for those that don't make the cut. It's quality not quantity that counts. A few of the right kind are so much better than a dozen of the wrong ones. This isn't so easily accomplished. It's much harder to drop a friend, especially one that you share with other friends. I've done it with my family as well, but in a less severe way. I only talk to those I'm closest too. I still love the rest, but I don't need their drama up close. The rare occasions I see them will have to suffice.

This weekend, I'll be going thru some of my physical possessions. I've long been a pack rat in training; it's long past time for that to change. Before I move I really need less stuff. And I need to figure out a way to get it organized and keep it that way.

The hardest purge will be of this job that I have now. After 5 years, I'm attached to it, though I know I have no future here. It's time for a change. I just need to be mature and pro-active enough to go out an initiate the change. I know I can do it; it won't be simple, but it'll be worth it.

Out with the old; in with the new.
