I must confess, I love reading “mommy blogs”… sometimes I relate better there than I do to a Newsweek article.

Driving home from work the other day, I passed a homeless man on the street. He was carrying all sorts of trash bags & backpacks filled with heaven knows what.
Something crossed my mind after seeing him—I wonder what’s in those bags? I wonder if he has to carry all of that stuff with him to survive on the streets? Or is he just like me, carrying around a lot of junk that really is unnecessary just because I haven’t taken the time or exercised the effort to throw it out?
Then-since I like metaphors-I thought about my kids & their “baggage”. What are they carrying around with them & is it necessary?
