I love an old cough drop that you find in a sweater pocket from last #winter. That soft gummy exterior that your tongue can push around like modeling clay and the hard interior that pretends it's still new.

Have you #simplified your life? Try the baseboard test. What percentage of the baseboards in your home are visible vs how much is hidden by furniture and storage areas?
