Lately, it seemed as if my stuff was multiplying without me even thinking about it. I would go to the store to get the things that I "needed," only to come home with lots of things I didn't and a considerably lighter wallet. I didn't fully realize what was happening until I decided that I'd had enough of it. I was tired of spending time away from the things that were important to me because I was too busy trying to find happiness in a store somewhere. Guess what? I finally figured out that you can't buy happiness, and I'm much happier for it.
So, back to the stuff. Sitting around my house one day I began to look around at all the possessions I had accumulated and realized that I was drowning in my own stuff. I had everything and, at the same time, I had nothing. I wasn't sure what to do. I mean, I have all of this stuff, I can't just give it away, can I? Well, it turns out, not only could I, but I did.
I began to become a frequent donator to our local Goodwill and Savers stores and I watched as many of my possessions
So, what did I give away? Here's a short list of some of the things that come to mind:
9 various different types of glasses.
A remote controlled car.
Various different types of plugs for things that I no longer own.
Clothing.
Shoes.
DVDs.
CDs.
Books.
Magazines.
Hats.
Toys.
A guitar strap that I no longer needed.
Small food processor.
Toaster.
2 pitchers.
Puzzles.
Several different types of remote controls.
And those are just some of the things I can remember.
Stay tuned for future updates.
