Clearing out....

Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.

William Morris (1834 – 1896), an English textile designer, artist, writer, and libertarian socialist.


I wish I could stick to this....

However I have been brave today and thrown out some very old paperwork. An example was the paperwork for a washing machine from years ago. No idea why I had kept it!

The New Year is a time of contemplation and of memories. The last year has brought it's own share of trials but also has brought progress and movement towards the future.

New Year, new start...

“the object of a new year is not that we should have a new year, but rather that we should have a new soul.”
― G.K. Chesterton
