Hmmm....
I finally managed to get rid of some clothes I have that I keep fooling myself I'm going to fit into again. I have no idea why we cling to the things we hardly ever use anyway!

Just a flower to let you know I was thinking of you and wondering how you are doing.

It is so easy to accumulate too much stuff and it can be hard to let it go.

i've been told a good rule of thumb is...
that if you haven;t used it in a year or so - especially if its boxed up - to chuck it out!
Only thing is, I have things I've kept over a decade, just because of sentiment. So I know, exactly how you feel about "giving up" possessions...

I meant to comment on this earlier...
I'm really bad with "stuff" also.... but then I think about that comedian who said, "you can't have everything.... where would you put it?"
Try to think about all the NEW stuff you can buy. When I last moved, I brought so much "stuff" that I really should have let go. Now, I have to deal with getting rid of it.

Excellent post Julia
Tangible forms of our essence - yes painful to part from.

In one of my spiritual groups every Christmas we exchanged gifts. We could not go out and buy something...our gift was something that each of us loved and was one of our treasured possessions. It got more and more difficult each year to part with something but it taught us non-attachment! Very good post!

Boy, how many times have I gone through this. When it comes to moving time, it's usually such a hassle that I tend to get ruthless with myself, throwing out and selling things. They seem to lose their value during the move, only to regain it later, once the dust has settled. But sometimes it has to be done. The good thing is your drum wasn't chucked or destroyed. It will be appreciated by its new owner

Julia, your African drum is in good hands now.
Let go of it! We humans have been weighted down by too many possessions. You have done a good job. Otherwise you will find yourself surrounded by garbage.

It's not easy
I have a couple of regrets over things I did take with me and things I didn't. If I was doing again, I'd get rid of a lot more stuff. I look at some of it and think what the ..., did I bring this for?

I can identify with this. We are throwing things out, and selling others. It is a necessary step that brings grief first, then peace.

Sometimes STUFF
has emotional attachments and even if that drum really didn't have alot for you, it signifies something much bigger for you right now. Take your time and take care of yourself.
