Moving On!

This past weekend was mostly spent moving. Most of the past 25 years of my life is now packed up in boxes and is currently in storage. Logan and I will be staying with my daughter and her husband for the next month until we find somewhere new to live. I'm not sure how I feel right now about this transition we are currently going through. I'm excited to start fresh and it will be a relief to not have all the work associated with acreage living, but it is also difficult to move after living in one place for 25 years. Logan and I have just what is needed for the next month or so. I think about everything else that is stored and what exactly I would actually miss if it all just went away. I don't feel attached to most of what is packed up and yet it feels strange to have a quarter century of stuff that partially represents all those years. I know that the experiences, memories and relationships that have been created throughout all those years are much more important and lasting than the accumulation of stuff. 

I have purged 231 items from my collection of stuff. I am 3 weeks into the Minimalism Game and am now purging 20+ items each day. I will have to finish the game after I move into our new place at which point as I'm unpacking I will probably be able to purge some more and finish the 30 days.
