Only time for a quick one today. Between packing up the things we will keep, numerous trips to the Goodwill, buying a new car (more on that in a future post) and all the other aspects of daily life I just haven't had much time.
Here in the Midwest, there is one thing we are not short on - space. I wouldn't say our house was large. I think we only had something like 1200 square feet of living space. After the last couple of weeks I'd say we were only really using half that. After living here for the last 8 years we have done nothing more than accumulate things "Just in case". In our packing we even found boxes of pictures and keepsakes that we haven't touched since the day we moved in.
So as I sit here surrounded by bags of items destined for the thrift store I invite you to take a look around. If you have actually used everything within five feet of you I would like to congratulate you. I have a feeling most people will quickly be able to spot several things they just don't need. For a society so bent on consuming, I find it amusing that we hold on to so many things that we don't need.
As for me? I'm going to be much more discriminating with the space I allow to be used. Well to be honest I wont have much of a choice. Have you looked at rental prices on Maui?
