Still doesn't make it any easier to get rid of. I'm still in that process. Strange that I haven't missed a single thing I struggled over ridding myself of. <br />Mary, I know you are going through the same thing. I feel for you and understand how hard it is to get rid of even the things that you haven't used in so long. I'm working on my clothes now...oh, my!!!Judy Roneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05439992575221937268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096598557803378399.post-64507136316294521812010-11-27T19:06:20.709-08:002010-11-27T19:06:20.709-08:00I do think we acquire 'stuff' to take up a...I do think we acquire 'stuff' to take up all the available space.

I guess my kids will have to dispose of them some day. I've carted off a bunch of books to "Half Price Books" too. No poetry books though.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096598557803378399.post-35000909227047228862010-11-27T06:04:06.113-08:002010-11-27T06:04:06.113-08:00I hear you Judy.

I think lots of closets makes us acquire more things, encourages us to horde. I liked living in NYC where I couldn't do that. I liked getting rid of all the accumulated "stuff" to move there...except for the books I had to give up. Your poem is right on in expressing what was, what is and you being ok with what is. It's like a purse, big, its full of heavy stuff, small it has the essentials, doesn't wear on you.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144768922185244207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096598557803378399.post-10568148816475229972010-11-27T05:48:52.787-08:002010-11-27T05:48:52.787-08:00Yea Judy !Yea Judy !Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09699334655995053320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096598557803378399.post-26001550380697148342010-11-25T03:18:18.968-08:002010-11-25T03:18:18.968-08:00You sound satisfied with your move, which is a goo...You sound satisfied with your move, which is a good thing!Marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3096598557803378399.post-70410683600065850552010-11-25T02:52:06.312-08:002010-11-25T02:52:06.312-08:00Well, that is good to hear, Judy!Well, that is good to hear, Judy!Diane Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15886778060199433214noreply@blogger.com
