Yesterday I built another eight foot shelf unit, put it into the shipping container on the Farm, and populated it with things out of our shed at the house. This was the second unit built and filled with stuff, most of which isn't really worthy of keeping, all too valuable to give up. Yesterday I moved Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and about a third of Christmas.
It occurs to me that my life is an accumulation of truckloads of cheap stuff requiring truckloads of expensive stuff to keep dry. About a million small things. So today I will build another shelf unit, load another truckload, and continue on until every unnecessary thing is removed from our house.
We will keep taking step after step toward the goal.
Last week we went through these shelves for the first time since moving to the Farm. We had to search through them a few times but never really looked at what we had. After re-organization, and assigning a few things to the Goodwill, we would up with one unit and a half full of Jack stuff, and one-half unit of open space. This is good because we really need the space.
