I've got a story. I had some items that I just couldn't bring myself to pitch.<br /><br />Rented a smallish storage unit. Hadn't been in there in a year. Dreaded having to look through it.<br /><br />The storage people called me a couple months ago. Seems the unit beside me had a fire.<br /><br />My unit was a complete lost.<br /><br />When I sounded relieved - it rather surprised the owner.<br /><br />Yep. A blessed relief. Didn't have to clean the danged thing or make any decisions.<br /><br />Ahhhhh . . . .:0)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548755592157386484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-52053677559867878212010-05-16T17:40:18.013-04:002010-05-16T17:40:18.013-04:00I once went shopping with a friend and she taught ...I once went shopping with a friend and she taught me a great lesson: if it needs dusting, you don't need it! <br /><br />I do like those type of sales though, even if just to see what people try and sell!

Firstly, after just having to downsize my Mom's life prior to her moving... I too am rather focused on stuff...and more to the point, just how much stuff can quietly accumulate over the years. Having to get rid of so much, so quickly, I couldn't help but reflect on my own situation and found myself ponder on the needs and wants of it all. <br /><br />Just this week Winnipeg held the first of its "Give-Away" weekends. Winnipeger's placed unwanted items (including furniture) on their curbs with FREE signs. Others cruised the streets and picked and chose from the offerings. Happily all of our curbed items disappeared during the course of the day. What's that saying.. "One man's garbage.. another man's treasure." :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-16151002840957475442010-05-16T09:04:59.477-04:002010-05-16T09:04:59.477-04:00I often wonder about this world that we live in. ...I often wonder about this world that we live in. It seems that we who have so much keep wanting more and there's the other side that has hardly anything. Not fair at all. I wonder what it would be like if we were all dumped into a big sack and everything was divided evenly ??? You can bet we'd be happy with what we had then.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749133391349265563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-12268577234562654902010-05-16T06:59:01.508-04:002010-05-16T06:59:01.508-04:00You make it worth pondering on the phrase 'the...You make it worth pondering on the phrase 'the stuff of life'...Jinksyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686101468214361004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-47260295218099151942010-05-16T00:31:17.122-04:002010-05-16T00:31:17.122-04:00It's nuts -- here in the U.S. people pay THOUS...It's nuts -- here in the U.S. people pay THOUSANDS a year to STORE STUFF that they don't need, don't use, and really don't even quite know they have.Holly, the Old Western Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046366762069644586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-74952427014100033782010-05-15T22:00:44.477-04:002010-05-15T22:00:44.477-04:00Ha!

It's outta here.<br /><br />Don't be too hard on yourself and humanity for its acquisitiveness. I think it's hardwired. It was selected for genetically in our ancient forbears. Those who horded - probably had a survival advantage.<br /><br />Anyway, if you're like me - as I age - 'stuff' becomes less interesting. That's a good thing.<br /><br />Hmmmm. I think my response is as long as your post which was pleasingly provocative.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548755592157386484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6998770.post-42806924769089985322010-05-15T21:55:26.068-04:002010-05-15T21:55:26.068-04:00that's what I forget. there was a yard sale a ...that's what I forget. there was a yard sale a few streets over.
