More space needed?

Categories
Lifestyle

Driving around, as I enjoy, I noticed new construction at a couple of locations. Very large buildings were being erected with no indications of what they were going to be. Maybe an office building? But no, there's a glut of office space now with everyone still working from home. Maybe a large community center? Library?

 

Well, I was wrong on all guesses. Both of these buildings turned into these huge storage facilities for consumers. We humans seem to collect stuff. So much stuff we need extra places to store it. What does that say about us?

 

George Carlin did an excellent routine on this. Click here to watch (it's only 5 minutes)

 

Looking around my house I can understand that. I have stuff in every corner. Rather than renting more space to store my extra stuff I really don't need, I think it's time to purge. Kind of a cleanse for my house. Maybe the war torn people in Ukraine would need some of my stuff.

Books! They seems to take over every space we live in. Over the years we have downsized and did use storage space while in transition. But aside from the books, we have managed to get rid of "stuff." Some went to the kids, some went to charity and some went to the curb. But the books just keep piling up.

If stuff provides no purpose I subject such to periodic purge. Certain things remain visible especially my LPs.

When my husband and I first got married he had a storage unit for which he was paying $200.00 per month. On my first visit to the unit, I challenged him to show me one item that would be worth $200 to keep. Needless to say we got rid of the storage unit the following month and never regretted that decision.

Yes, stuff has to go. But who has time to go through the stuff...

Moving had us purge a lot, but I still boxes on my office and garage that I can't seem to get to. Purge part to be continued.
