Is there
not MORE
to life
than getting
stuff?
and then getting
MORE of it,
BIGGER of it,
FASTER of it,
and
THEN
STUFFING
what you can't use now
somewhere
so you can use it
later?
If this is so...
what a sad routine.
How really very, very sad
On the other hand...
Know for sure
that you are
rich
when your
hunt for alternatives
becomes
sincere.

I bought a card with that written on it, about 10 years ago. At that time we were still living that kind of life. Mark and I approached everything from our "traveler mentality" and so it was really easy to refrain from collecting stuff. When your "home" is a backpack, the lighter you live, the better.
How I would love to say that we live as simple as that now. We don't. Unfortunately Mark and I still haven't quite figured out how to handle the amount of stuff that owning a house requires, not to mention how much stuff 3 children can generate in your life.
With Christmas coming, I can't help but get a bit stressed thinking about even MORE stuff entering our small home. I do love to sort, organize and declutter, (its actually something I'm VERY good at), but I can't keep up. It takes so much more time when you have to do it for 5 people, a lot more time than I have in my life right now.
Mark and I are both taking time off around Christmas, so this is going to be at the top of our "To Do" list.
