I’m not far behind you, Clif. We need to do more of this. We had a junk hauler just take everything in the shed and garage attic. Stuff we haven’t used or even seen in years! In my next life, I’m coming back as a minimalist. I also took a couple decades of old financial records to the shredder. It was two paper lawn bags of records!! Got rid of my piano too. The circle of life. Your approach to aging is so healthy. Bravo!
Hi, Nancy. Thanks for your informative response. Sounds like you're on the minimalist track conceptually. Same here. My advice to everyone, especially young folks, is to travel lightly through life.
This is such a timely post, especially as we move into the retirement phase. We did downsize once already, but as you know, nature abhors a vacuum and we have continued to acquire more "stuff". I look forward to reading more about your journey. Thank you for sharing it with us. -Allin
Thanks, Allin, for the positive feedback. I hesitated in writing about such a personal topic, but hoped it would be helpful for anyone sensing a need for a simpler lifestyle. I think you'll enjoy your retirement phase, an opportunity to explore other interests, such as photography, which you seem to enjoy.
