The Year of Living Minimally ~ Week Thirty-eight

Oh, I didn't get this posted on Friday morning! I thought I did. Sorry!My husband's birthday was this past Monday. He said he didn't need anything, and I believed him. We have everything we need! So I bought him a bottle of Limoncello (it's spring!). No longer do we feel the need to show our love for each other with purchases. We'd rather have time together, because time is the most precious commodity.A couple of weeks ago, I met my friend Lori and bestowed upon her a few items from my 'former life' as a fraud investigator.

I know my journey will not end with the 'Week Fifty-two' post.
