In the Light of Day

I hope the various mental challenges of this process will preclude my ever succumbing to senile dementia (Remember when Alzheimer's was called that? Is it better or worse when we have some researcher's surname to define a general term?).

A few words to the wise:
1. Do not collect Too Much Stuff. Stuff just becomes a burden when it comes time to dispose of it. Very few things are worth carrying through one's life. Very few. Even books---and I revere books.
2. Never let lag any paperwork about your rental or house purchase. It's not fun to have to scamper to finish things up before moving/selling.
3. Remember that all-in-all one is very lucky to have a roof over one's head, indoor plumbing, people you love who love you, and health. Easy to say but hard to synthesize.

I guess that's it. When one lies awake at 3:32 am with these things in mind it helps to make complete sentences of them in the light of day.
