I have often heard the phrase 'letting go of that which no longer serves us' used when describing personal growth, maybe leaving a job or relationship or abandoning old emotional tenets that have weighed us down. I am using it literally. Since the beginning of holiday break, I have started to seriously thin my collections of, well, almost anything that happens to catch my eye. For awhile now I have been in a 'just in case' mode, where I just don't know when I will be earning enough money again to readily replace stuff. Any stuff- shoes, clothes, etc. That perspective has encouraged me to collect more stuff than I need, and to hold onto stuff I no longer use/want. No longer. In the last few days I have loaded up and delivered several more bags to Goodwill, and in the process I am learning more about myself. Like that buying stuff just because it's on sale is insane, and often results in owning stuff that isn't ideal. Most things are almost right...
