Comments on: Free yourself from ‘stuff’…… http://polishingpeanuts.com/02/2010/free-yourself-from-stuff/ Trying to find sense in an often bewildering world Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:49:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ian http://polishingpeanuts.com/02/2010/free-yourself-from-stuff/comment-page-1/#comment-34 Ian Tue, 16 Feb 2010 05:33:47 +0000 http://polishingpeanuts.com/?p=471#comment-34 Hi Jill, I know! I am watching my parents who are moving after 40 years in the same house, having been compulsive shoppers all those years. Boy, it's difficult to watch the pain and indecision on their faces as they pick up each piece and decide "stay or go?". I NEVER want to be in that position, its bad enough now trying to stuff our lives into 12 boxes to ship to Norway! We learnt a lot living in East Africa and are determined not to "un-learn" those important lessons on whats really needed to live a good life. There is too much fun stuff to see and do to spend it "maintaining" a house full of stuff! Now where's that map?! Thanks for stopping by...... Ian Hi Jill,
