Endless Moving

My last post was March 12 and here it is March 26 and I'm still trying to get the rest of my stuff out of my old condo! It doesn't help that I usually only get one or 2 days to work. This week, I'll only get one day as I am working extra hours. I did manage to sell some furniture, but still have beds, bookcases and TV and entertainment center. I still have dishes and books to take to storage. I'm beginning to think I'll never be finished, especially when you factor in all the stuff I have in storage that I'll probably never use.

I've had an idea for quite some time that we don't own our stuff, it owns us. Now, I'm pretty well convinced that this is a truth, especially with things you don't really need. They take up space, or you pay for storage. This certainly isn't economical. It also drags down your energy. I think my goal for the rest of this year is to get rid of stuff that isn't used or really wanted. That should free up both space, money and energy.

Moving

I'm sort of moved. That is, I'm now sleeping in the new place, but there's still gobs of stuff in the old place. I find myself almost hoping to be robbed. It's amazing how much "stuff" you can accumulate. The last time I moved, about 12 years ago, I had 17 years of accumulation. I sent truck loads to the dump and to charity. Still, I managed to keep a lot and accumulate more. Now, here I am again, trying to devest myself of a bunch of stuff.

I had always fantisized about moving with just a small trailer, only taking the very basics. It's hard to really throw stuff away when it comes right to it though. I did get away with very little, but now, what do I do with the rest? It would help if I still owned a truck, but I don't. I guess I'll just keep trying, or maybe hold a moving sale.
