I was thinking today about stuff--things--items that we buy-collect-save. Its amazing how much we have when we can't take any of it when we leave. Yet we buy buy and so on.
I am proud to say that for once in my life I have started to hold off on this-i go thru my closet and belongings and constantly throw away or give away--and yet I still can't believe how much I have. I often wonder jeez michelle what will all come of this one future day way down the road. I would like to think that my belongings don't define me but rather I define the things in my life.
I now realize that most items end up being thrown away and given to the second hand store. And the things of value are given to family and friends. But there are things like my sand collection from all over the world and my book collection-journals and quotes the things that I value will others value them as much as me?
Why do we cont to buy knowing that it can't be brought with us? All that matters in the end is the perso we are-who we are-how we treat and love. How we are remembered-how people see us. Those are the things that matter...that truly matters and counts...its not bout the clothes the house the job the money the things we buy and own...things don't define us...its who we are that defines us...its the life we live that defines us...as much as I know this I need to do a better job at times living just that and doing just that!
