I've started to downsize possessions and attics, etc. And like you, Barbara, my husband and I go on trips instead of buying gifts for anniversaries or birthdays. I must confess though; I buy too many books. I'm always behind on my reading. Probably because I am studying how the author has put together the prose. Thank you for this reminder that bigger is not better.

We have a garage full of stuff, though, and I try to winnow it down. For vacations and celebrations (birthdays, esp) we go away for an overnight instead of lots of gifts. It seems you spend half your life acquiring, and then years getting rid of. So while I still buy books, I buy little else. I'm thinning out the closet. Etc etc. <br /><br />So thanks for the reminder that the stuff does not the happiness make.<br /><br />xoBarbaraBarbara DeMarco-Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11407113008901754361noreply@blogger.com
