a lot of stuff. No one wanted it and it was nice stuff. But just stuff. Kids didn't want it either. I sent it all to goodwill.

It feels so good not having stuff. And I got rid of tons. And even with so little now, I see I can unclutter even more. It feels very good.

and the need to get rid of stuff. I'm currently getting rid of as much of my excess as I can, to save someone else the hassle.

A few years ago I decided I would start using my wedding china as my every day dishes. I have no one to leave it to and I may as well enjoy it while I can.

It’s very nice,it’s beautiful I see no reason to leave it in the closet. I have nobody to leave it to

I have some bone china I use all the time now.

Back in the 70s and 80s that we needed “fine China”? I think I’ve used mine once a year since I’ve been married (35 years this May). Can’t put it in the dishwasher so it’s a pain to wash dishes for 10 on a holiday. I have three grown sons who I know won’t care about it at all. It was a dumb thing to buy. We sure could have spent the $ on something we needed more.

some 40 years ago now. It was used several times a year and is dishwasher safe. Some fifteen years ago my marriage came to an end and I brought the china with me when I relocated partway across the country. And several years ago I promoted the good china to being my every day dishes. So glad I did.

Because, if we are not good enough to use it, why save it for good?

The other thing is books. I ran out of shelf space years ago, so I started putting them in boxes.

Now I've got boxes of books stacked up throughout the house.

I know I'll never listen to most of these records again, I will never go back to read all these books again, but I am loathe to let them go.
