A good fire takes care of hoarded treasure... after lamenting the loss of many years of treasure collection in the last bush fires I find that nothing that was lost is now remembered and certainly I have not found myself saying .."now if only I had such and such my world would be a better place"..
I realised these things had no value because they would never have been sold and would never be used..they were in fact a burden not only cluttering floor space but cluttering my mind.
I am happy to be free of the responsibility of looking after all that treasure..the energy I would waste moving things from one place to another, the cleaning, the maintenance etc all seems so stupid in retrospect.
I recommend the simple life and concentrating on the present not the past.
Too many "things" not only clutter floor space but they clutter your mind...how much time is wasted on a visit to ones treasure trove..pick up this ..look at that..feel guilty that you have not fixed this or that..run off on a meaningless project that is irrelevant in the now.
Have a garage sale, trim down, free yourself of the burden that is treasure and concentrate on the future that sees an observatory that will be used completed.
best wishes
