Clutter

I'm physically tired, emotionally tired, tired of making to do lists and not getting anything done, tired of doing the same things day in and day out. Man I am tired! I decided that I am tired of looking at clutter and in order to stop looking at clutter I need to tackle it. I emptied out the metal mail box that we have hanging right outside of our kitchen, a task I have been putting off. That mail box is like a junk drawer. Every loose piece of paper, junk mail, pens, lists, receipts, all find their way into the mail box. I have known very well what was sitting in the back of it for a while, but just couldn't face it the last time I cleaned it out, so I just put it all back in. A pile of greeting cards has been sitting in the mail box for the past 9 months. Cards saying congratulations, cards saying happy birthday, and cards sending sympathies. I went through those cards today. I cried. I put them in a pile on the table and tomorrow I will find a home for them. I don't know what else to do with them. I'm afraid of throwing them out... Anyone have any suggestions?
