Changes

I was at the Mother Earth Harvest Festival held at Spoutwood Farm a couple of weeks ago. I attended a couple of talks and at one of them the speaker used the phrase "the socially destructive behaviour of hoarding." This statement really made me stop and think about my life and how I live it. I have so many things that I absolutely needed at the time. Now, I just look at them and think about the space that they take up even though they are still aesthetically pleasing. As an example, I have a fabulous set of platinum banded 1950's barware that I rarely use. I don't even look at it all that much anymore because I keep them down in the basement. No bar upstairs. That was the original plan, to get a bar, but it never happened. But then it is just getting things to house other things.

Life is easier in so many ways when one stops wanting things.
