I have often thought of just tossing it all. But a match...now that's a statement! I have been in the painfully slow process of purging and simplify, too.

We are getting ready to move (again). Most of our belongings have been in storage for the last year from our move from TX. He has asked that we just get rid of it all. I replied that I want my stuff. I miss my stuff. I don't really even know what my stuff is. But I miss it. I need it. Well need in the sense that I didn't use it once in the last year..<br /><br />Clearly, I need some help.Christynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067437345204040435.post-55766266102754138222011-02-24T07:04:10.546-06:002011-02-24T07:04:10.546-06:00We recently moved fromm one house to another witin...We recently moved fromm one house to another witin the same small town. We were in no big hurry to put the house we were moving out of on the market, so we only moved what mattered most to us first.

We are in the process of getting rid of the rest.Suziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988138674579277258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6067437345204040435.post-21932312558321594252011-02-24T06:58:51.092-06:002011-02-24T06:58:51.092-06:00I understand on many levels.

I kept all of their "stuff" and some of my clothes and all of my photos, everything else I gave to Good Will. My mom thought I was crazy but, for me, it was very freeing. The “stuff” is not who you are and you do not have any obligation to it.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15729667951417069812noreply@blogger.com
