I like to think that I'm not terribly attached to possessions. Without trying to sound trite, it really is true that when you have your health you have everything. It is also true that you come into the world with nothing and leave it that way too. The decades in between those events shouldn't be diminished due to a desire to collect material things.We have friends who once lost near everything in a house fire. Belongings can, for the most part, be replaced. The memories of an item can be almost as powerful as the actual object.
The things we might miss do not have any financial value. Small objects can remind us of a vacation or different time in life. I want to start saving these items in photographs in case they somehow get seperated from us.
