The Year of Living Minimally - Week Forty

This was a week for boxing up and carting items to The Salvation Army store in my town. Funny, but I had no emotional attachment to these things and was able to let them go easily. They're just things!Decorative and pretty, yes. But I haven't used any of these items in years. Someone else might find a treasure, and that would make me happy!My husband agrees that it's time to donate the service for twelve (twelve! There are five of us left in our combined families) that was his mother's. I think we used it twice in the nearly twenty-four years that we've been married.It's a lovely service, and I do hope that a family will use it.We still have a lot of glassware and knickknacks in the top half of our china cabinet. Onward!
