My automatic car died right after Easter this year so I now have to use my bike or walk. The collections of baskets and porcelain that were so important to my status, have literally no value to me. My journals, scrapbooks and family see and hear a lot more from me as I un-amass the stash. Thank you for reminding me that I am not suffering, but maturing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087143391994696743.post-21410150293124026962010-12-27T06:55:55.984-08:002010-12-27T06:55:55.984-08:00I loved your challenge.
