This project is forcing me to examine my need for things, and shopping. If I am just as happy with a walk through the park looking at waterfalls as going through the mall, why does my car usually end up in the parking lot of the mall?
Is't it fascinating how there is a culture of having stuff? There isn't anything in particular I want, or need. I suppose it makes me feel good to buy new things. A new toy can be fun for awhile. Yet, then it finds a home on a shelf, or in a box, and is forgotten about.
Even as I sit here on my couch and look around there
There's just something great about buying new things... even if it's just something small. Good luck. You're better than I am!
ReplyDeleteStick with it! I bet you'll look back and be glad you did it.
ReplyDeleteI completely know what you mean! Shopping can be so fun...especially finding a really good deal on something.
ReplyDeleteI need to try no shopping for a month! My husband would LOVE that.
This is a difficult thing - to keep from buying 'stuff'. My three biggest areas are food (yes, I stockpile that too), crafty supplies and books (mainly homeschooling stuff). Downsizing is what we need to do - wouldn't it be nice to see the floor and the tabletops? Thanks for commenting and visiting on my blog by the way. :)
