Comments on: I cleaned out my clothes hole… http://www.kgadams.net/2008/01/02/i-cleaned-out-my-clothes-hole Technology, computer games, MMOGs, science...and other nerdy stuff Fri, 16 May 2008 20:00:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Kelly Adams http://www.kgadams.net/2008/01/02/i-cleaned-out-my-clothes-hole#comment-16024 Kelly Adams Sun, 06 Jan 2008 23:29:57 +0000 http://www.kgadams.net/2008/01/02/i-cleaned-out-my-clothes-hole/#comment-16024 Hmmm: good point, Chris- it is a bronze age thing, at least, this "rethinking" or rebirth process. I'm still happy with my reorganized closet. I feel all giddy (okay, I'm exaggerating, but...) when I go to grab clothes and know where stuff is and that everything is suitable/not holey/still fits. I have another task on my "first quarter 2008" list which is to buy some new stuff, but I'm going to wait for a while and take comfort from the empty hangers I now possess ;) Hmmm: good point, Chris- it is a bronze age thing, at least, this “rethinking” or rebirth process.

It's the darkest time of the year, with the last of the previous season's fresh food eaten and a long winter yet to come ... a lot of people, including yourself, might not live to see spring. And at the same time, after the solstice, the Sun begins to come back. There *will* be a another summer, another time to have children, to sow crops to languish in the summer sunshine. After 10,000 years of that it is bred into our bones. And besides, there is nothing on TV over the holidays! ;) Long before we had “Christmas” or chose this time to be “New Year” our ancestors, the northern European ones at any rate, marked the Solstice as a time of rebirth and time when the forces of light and dark were in balance, and thus easy to tip one way or the other.

I find it odd how the holiday season seems to make me "introspective", reviewing all the little and big things I should get done/want to get done/dream of doing. I don't really think in terms of "New Years Resolutions", but I suppose this reviewing process is part of what leads to that behavior. I wonder what it is about this time of year that makes me and apparently others do this? Interesting that you went through this as well.

Thankfully for having moved so much I have been culling most of my crap regularly but stuff still creeps in. What amazed me is, somehow, I managed to find MORE room on my book case where none was before. This boggled me somewhat as I haven't taken anything OFF the bookcase and have only added. Its magical... and I left it at that. *lol* I went through the same exercise this holiday too.
