Mis-adventures of a Letterboxer-Errant

like a tree without leaves or fruit, or a body without a soul"

FLYLady & the Swan's Trumpet

In celebration of "Get Organized Month" this January, I thought this might interest some of you:


I stumbled upon a pretty profound quote by E.B. White while reading "The Trumpet of the Swan" during lessons today. This quote soooo rings true with respect to the FLYLady's approach to life!


"Flying is a lot harder now than before I acquired all these possessions," thought Louis. "The best way to travel, really, is to travel light."


In FLYLady's system, FLY stands for Finally Loving Yourself by eliminating all the clutter in your life (physical/emotional/spiritual). When the clutter is gone, you can focus on the important things in life such as family time & letterboxing. Thought some of the FLYbabies out there might enjoy this!


For folks not familiar with the children's story The Trumpet of the Swan it's about a swan who sets out to become something swans typically do not become: musician & public entertainer. He procures a lot of possessions along the way that he's forced to carry around his neck as he flies to & fro. He sets out on a journey and finds himself in the midst of a wild adventure albeit laced with trials, danger & tribulation. Interesting how it totally relates to the FLYLady's organization tenets. Enjoy!
