While my shattered femur has been healing, I have been inspired to do a little cleaning.
I’ve been sorting through old business and personal papers—and even getting rid of some of the books that I’ve accumulated through the years.
I was comforted when I found an article that I had saved from 2006. “Letting go of my books was harder than letting go of my kids,” wrote Jane Adams in an article in the May 2006 AARP Bulletin.
Parting with some of the books in my library is painful—although, for me, not as difficult as letting go of my children.
