So today I (we) threw away a lot of stuff; and Tosha got her new job at Kent State; and my four student workers plus my Dental Hygienist all did a stellar job; and I feel better now that we are inching closer to some kind of reckoning about all the excess I have accumulated over time. Yikes.
Giving away or selling off at a loss or sharing a lot of stuff helps -- but the guilt of acquisition still remains. Americans generally have too much stuff. And someone of slightly elevated age (such as myself) who avidly collected beautiful things to use in his bed and breakfast -- well that triples the guilt. So I gave some relatively nice stuff to me deserving students --- anything they desired or truly wanted actually.
Resist, resist, resist!!
