Taking it Back - and back - and back

You can click on the thumbnail, or go here to read the cartoon.  I can't make it reproduce bigger...

The truth of this in my own life whacked me in the head when I read yesterday's funny papers.  I am so Linus.  I try and try to let go of some things, and I think I have, but in reality I have a little string tied to them so I can always get them back.  I am working hard on these issues.  Like Linus' blanket, they are all items that give me some comfort, but in the big picture it would be better to be able to let go of them. 

Piles of stuff is one of my security blankets.  Don't ask me to explain why.  Maybe I think I look busy with them?  What I really look like is, a MESS! 

I was so inspired by Tripp's cleaning of his desk (in his BEAUTIFUL office!), so I am working on that today.  Here is a picture of my University desk now.  I'll post my progress.
