True that!
Books are a millstone around ones next, as is most
stuff. It is said,
less is more. I never understood that until I started to think about downsizing, for a second time.
I am reading a lot of my books again. Once read, they get thrown out, given away or sold, whichever is appropriate.
I just can't bring myself to throw them away in one lot, so I am doing it one book at a time.
When I downsized last time, from the matrimonial home, I took a truck load of stuff to the tip, mostly stuff out of my workshop, as I didn't have a shed in the next place, so it had to go. The guy at the tip thought all his Christmas's had come at once, such was some of the stuff I threw out back then.
If we have space, I have come to the conclusion that we must fill it, intentionally or not! I seem to have accumulated a lot of stuff over the ten years I have been in this house.
