Not too much of a fan of having a stranger come in to my home to pick things up but it needed to be done. The items that were not sold in my home were sold online. I am grateful to everyone who came and found something for themselves. Many a day I opened my home for my friends to literally come and shop my stuff in my house. What remains though is getting rid of everything, and I mean everything else. Also we are planning to move with as little as possible save the clothes we love, the truly, joyful sentimental items I have selected, my late husband’s journals, my own journals, as few books as possible (this was really hard) and my favourite reading chair. Moving is stressful no matter how much planning goes in to it. Perhaps deciding to move to the other side of the world has more benefits than initially expected.

I have read a great deal about why and how to simplify ones life and now the universe is somewhat forcing me to very quickly rid myself of said burdens. I wrote about wanting to move toward a more minimalist lifestyle. In a previous blog I wrote about the burden of clutter. I have been working my way through boxes of items my mother has kept since I was born and items I myself have kept since the sentimentality bug bit me as a teenager. Over the past two months I have been packing up close to 34 years of life.

Warning: This is a very nostalgic post with plenty of pictures.
