As you can
see, I haven’t written on this blog for a looooong time. But please, that
doesn’t mean that we haven’t let go of stuff. As I wrote in cottagebythesea.net
blog, it’s not that we’ve lost the desire, but we’re probably not as intentional
as we were—and I got tired of writing it up.
I’m not ready to let go of the blog, so here’s the cottage post. I’ll
see what I can do, but not on a daily basis.
Two years ago I started a blog IT’S TIME TO GO; LETTING GO OF
STUFF http://lettingofstuff.blogspot.com/.
My husband and I had the intention of getting rid of one thing every day for an
entire year. We did quite well, but then our commitment faded and I got tired
of blogging about it. The desire is still there; I just wish I had a clone who
was interested in doing all the work.
On
my walk the other day I was reminded that I am not alone in the challenge
to let go of stuff. Along the side of the road, waiting for trash removal, was
a plastic box, with “Mike, Photo Albums, Keep,” written on its side. Where are
the photos? Did Mike toss them? Did his mother toss them? Have they been sorted
and distributed? Have they been scanned?
All these questions indicate just how difficult it is to let go of stuff.
When we see treasures piled by the side of the road, we can be pretty sure a
complex decision making process landed them there.
