A journey into cleaning up a big pile of..... hoard

by Janet S. Tiger
It may not seem like much, but I clean out my fridge - top shelf - today. Only a half hour, but I consider it a de-cluttering of great difficulty. Why? Because I am throwing away food. I've done it before, but it seems more difficult sometimes. A day, okay, part of a day, of discarding old moldy food feels.....cleansing as I know we will never use these rotting vittles. But no matter how good it feels, a part of me cries when I have to toss green and feathery items.
The words of my youth - 'there are people starving' - actually mean something now, as I have met refugees and survivors of horrors I can only read about - people that actually have been hungry.
So I vow to try to be better at organizing the blessed food we have, refrigerated, safe......and mostly delicious. At least I can put the rotting veggies in my son's worm box outside. The worms are happy, and....so am I. As my daughter says, I am so very easily amused.
