Last survivor of my imed. family I gained everyones personal belongings and of emotional fear let nearly none of it go for some time. The baggage can be overwelming. After over 20 moves with children and now none at home, I have pared recently down to three rooms from 3thousand square feet of house. It never felt so good! My husband and I have no real debt other than electric and daily living. We own no credit cards, and because of your wife, have returned to local shopping and skills we had forgotten of our youth. yeah Donna! Thanks again. My clothing is only a few changes after all you can only wear one set at a time anyway and this leaves room for the monthly dress challenges and other sewing projects and shoes are what is nessasary. If the stores had to rely on people like me to survive they would not last a week. Paring down is the best thing everyone can do, as it cleans your space, releases you of burden, and refocuses ones real need from want. Not that it is not ok to want, but it leaves one open to explore new areas such as 1956. People should be growing and exploring new all the time not burdened and held down by their stuff. I will say you sound over welmed not by your stuff so much as stress of life at the moment. Take time to sit and prioratize your situation and take it one area at a time. Tennents are troublesome at times and that is why land lords are so cautious. You are in a beautiful cottage, and if you look at it as your home for life, even if you travel or live other places for a while it will bring you peace knowing it is a perm. place to lay your head. It alone can bring you peace and warmth.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08228454366955268540noreply@blogger.com
