Partly agreement from here, but "no books", that's were I draw the line.

I yearn for that...to rid this life of every unused thing.
Beautiful old. old baskets, old, old excellent dishware, kitchenware, thisware, thatware----want it out of my hair...

Three favorite coffee cups, the picture frame with all the changing family photoes--LOVE IT!
--the lace-up shoes with the new orthodics, the everyday work clothes, eye-glasses, work gloves and garden hat and of course, my beloved garden tools...that's all I need---world; you can have the rest.

(I'm cleaning it out, bit by bit---can't wait to see it done)
Wow, ej, you really hit on the head today!!!
Thank you!

I am with you on the books, Anneliese! I'm doing pretty good with the "divesting" otherwise, but "stuff" creeps up on one, accumulates, particularly of the paper-kind (this is the paperless society? Ha!)

Our DD is a minimalist, I'll send the poem to her.

I sent the poem to DD and she emailed back and said she loved the poem. I knew it would speak to her.
I agree with,lilod "this is the paperless society? Ha!)"
I'm being innudated with paper, it's worse than the emails.
