2024 – Should He Stay or Should He Go?

Kevin Howard…

It’s a new year and I feel like it’s a good time to throw some stuff away. De-clutter the house. I started looking around for good candidates for the trash can and the first thing I came to was our dogs toy monkey. It’s old and smelly and has seen better days, so I tossed it. Then, I felt bad about it. Memories of the dogs frolicking in the yard with their monkey popped in my head. I started feeling guilty about it. They might miss their monkey. They could get depressed. I pondered this for close to half an hour and then took it out of the trash and put it in the back yard. The moral of the story… if it takes me this long to decide the fate of this monkey, maybe I” just wait until next year to de clutter. Happy New Year!
