My life now requires me to own more things than I did previously, but they can all be donated to others who need them when the time comes. As for personal, sentimental things, those are all gone. No books, journals, pictures or keepsakes now. Just what I need to get by.Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823027336359766111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-64726891273782782872017-04-06T16:10:14.626-03:002017-04-06T16:10:14.626-03:00I plan on photographing my sentimental letters to ...I plan on photographing my sentimental letters to store in the cloud/on a memory stick. For me owning little is very important, less to worry about losing/damaging/maintaining/moving.

I like that photo of Steve Jobs sitting in his minimalist living room, although I'm not a fan of what he created.<br />I try to avoid furniture and eventually me and my wife are moving to a new room so we get camping mats rather than buying a bed and a mattress.<br />AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-36970031630030773142017-04-05T06:25:24.246-03:002017-04-05T06:25:24.246-03:00We've been married for 37 years and have tons ...We've been married for 37 years and have tons of photos and negatives. I think I will go through them this summer and toss at least half of them. It's a start. Each time I do a purge, it forces me to re-evaluate what's left. Then another purge will come. I may not get my/our possessions down to a backpack or a shoebox, but I definitely want to get down to at least a small apartment.
