Stuff, I've got a lot of stuff,

but not nearly as much stuff as I used to have.

6 years ago I moved from northern Michigan

to the Grand Rapids area and I had to downsize.

I sold a home and moved into a town home, then came

phase two of the downsizing I moved from the town home

to an apartment in downtown Grand Rapids.

I let go of a lot of stuff and it felt good, so good!

I gave away and sold some of my favorite things.

Truthfully it was hard to let go of some of my stuff

but what I realized is that my stuff isn't me

and I'm not a better person because of

the stuff I have, I'm me with or without stuff.

It was actually freeing to let go and leave

stuff behind and not to drag it forward!

These are some random things I have in a jar; old marbles,

crystal chandelier pieces, jewelry and rocks.

I like it, I don't know why I just do. Stuff!
