"I’ve been thinking a lot about 'stuff' lately, not the heavy 'stuff' as in pondering the mystery of life, but rather the physical 'stuff' that seems to be overflowing my house. Whether I want to be or not, I am definitely at the acquiring stage of life. Much of that has to do with my children. I truly try not to overindulge them. They have a fraction of the items that they feel that they actually 'need.' In fact, just today, they were telling me that they wished they had 'nicer' parents, translated as 'parents who would give us whatever we want whenever we want it.' So, yes, I am doing my job!"
