Its obvious that my life isnt going to be what I imagined when I retired. And as I was looking around, I spotted things that I truly don't need, just have a tad of memories. And I thought I should get some boxes and get rid of stuff.
But then I realized that my groceries come in bags, just use those! And I've been bagging things ever since. Friday, I took a load of items to Goodwill:
98 DVDs, 89 CDs, 5 books, a few extra shirts, a roll of fabric and some pillow cases and a box of miscellaneous glassware. One of them was a bottle that said Portugal on the bottom. It was dark green glass with a strange indentation. I bought it at a Junque Sale at church when I was about 14. My guess is it was an old liquor bottle. And other than just sitting on a shelf for all these years ... ???
There's still plenty more! But as I get older I realize that my daughter won't want to deal with stuff. And neither will I if I need to move again. Or when I move again!
What is it that makes us hold on to things we dont really use?? Where does that come from? Maybe this new generation of disposable everything has a better handle on "stuff".
