It Is Happening

Well, we guess this is really happening! Almost all of the furniture has left. There are two lawn chairs, a coffee table (which is leaving tomorrow) and the tv console left in the living room. Bed is leaving this weekend. We will list the dining room table and 2 chairs next week and we are making progress toward our "living estate" sale. Looks like we will make enough to cover the down payment our our new travel trailer home before the first real payment in 4 days. We have met many wonderful people who came to take our treasures to their homes. Miracles have been happening ever since we decided to "hit the road" and minimalize our possessions. We feel very blessed tonight.

Makes you wonder how a person accumulates so much "stuff"? And compared to most folks we don't have that much stuff. Selling off most of our books - we love books, not Kindle - and dishes, pots, pans, linens, glassware, all of the items folks "need" in a household. Took all of our family photos out of their frames because it is easier to store photos out of frames. It has been a real project. Downsizing from 950 square feet to 190 square feet. Compared to many folks we already lived in a small space. Sold the VCR so no need to keep the videos LOL. A person has no idea how much stuff is in those cupboards and closets - thank God we don't have a garage. It has been a real project but will feel good when it is completed.
