Letting Go Of What You No Longer Need

It's Saturday, and after spending the morning in the office taking care of a few calls to prospective customers, I just sat down at the old 'puter to check out myYahoo. I realized that I have been watching a number of different stocks for which I have had some level of interest. Included in that list were FLR and MEE - legacy stocks from my 401K past. However, no longer being an employee of the former, and having long ago moved my investment monies to other areas, I determined that there was no longer any real need to keep these in my portfolio. Out of sight; out of mind. In a similar vein, I am no longer watching the message boards or headlines for these companies. I don't think I will be missing out on anything.

Action: I recommend that everyone periodically look around your personal spaces, using a third-person perspective and trim off the unnecessary fat. Like a garage that has exceeded its capacity to store all the crap you refuse to throw away, it is essential to hold a personal garage sale on a regular basis. It ain't the garages fault - its YOUR responsibility. So I took action.

Now, back to focusing on the future - with a smile. I would hope that you find little slime or editorial about FLR on this site in the future. Waste of my energy.
