In preparation for my housemove (end of Sept 2005), I threw away and gave away a whole bunch of stuff. What’s left is what I really love, need or want to use/make(crafts). Everything else went. I feel much lighter for it. It feels like starting anew. I never want to add more things into my life without thinking hard about it. “Possessions are burdens”. I never realised how right this quote was until now.
