I've shipped stuff I can't live without (my cd, dvd and book collection) but the only other things coming with me is what fits in my car. Its been difficult trying to tell my self, "it's just stuff" because in this country most people equate stuff with wealth. The stuff I'm not taking I've been giving away to family members and friends (mostly the meaningful things like antiques and family heirlooms). I have to say, it's kind of a refreshing and gratifying experience. I know when I get out there, I'll have a clean slate and the stuff I'm giving away will be meaningful and significant to the receiving party. Also, with the new year approaching, purging "stuff" is a great idea!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835259288674105856.post-48450066512225240272010-11-19T10:17:00.558-08:002010-11-19T10:17:00.558-08:00Oh don't worry Kirstin - there will always be ...Oh don't worry Kirstin - there will always be a stuff lover out there somewhere :)Stacey Hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930769306168533385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2835259288674105856.post-44430249501271750672010-11-18T21:47:07.588-08:002010-11-18T21:47:07.588-08:00If everyone is downsizing, who is buying all the s...If everyone is downsizing, who is buying all the stuff at the estate sales???<br /><br />I am in simplification mode too.
