One can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few. "

i have been simplifying. and for once, i am actually following through.
i have so many things that tug at my heart, and have special memories attached to them.
and i have many beautiful things that are just that....beautiful things.
the things, i have gone through and been able to eliminate a fair amount for garage sales, etc.
the very special things that tug at my heart because of memories,
those are harder...but they have been lovingly gone through also~
some have been recycled to daughters to enjoy~
some have been repurposed~
and some have been lovingly packed away
waiting for another day
when i can look at them again
and see how they strike my fancy at that time~
"and they are more beautiful if they are few"
i was feeling burdened by all that i've collected over the years (the things...not the heart tugging memories), so i'm lightening the load and letting some things go.
and it is feeling good
