OUR STUFF! We come in all shapes and sizes. We come in all colors from everywhere in the world. There are many beliefs and religions, we fight over what we believe, thinking everyone else should believe as we do....and we fight each other over our so-called rights and our possessions. We fight each other over land and resources. We are aggressive on the highways and roads for our space on the road, our fence lines, and our place in line at the grocery store, movie theaters and jockey for position at stop signs. We keep buying more stuff to define who we are. But it never works so we buy more stuff. We put all this stuff in buildings to store stuff because we have too much stuff. Our parents die so we put their stuff in storage sometimes for years. We dont give it away and we dont use it....but we keep paying the storage fees because it is our stuff now so we have to protect that stuff. We get a newer vacuum and hold onto the old one because it can be a backup when you know your sister in law really needs one...because she has borrowed it every now and then. Family dinners are almost a thing of the past. You are too busy protecting your space and your stuff and buying more. It is easier to bring home a bag of fast food burgers. You are working so hard in order to pay for all your stuff and your toys and gadgets, that you hardly have time to enjoy anything you worked so hard for because you are paying for all that stuff... My point to all of this is it is way beyond time you started to change things and shift your priorities around. Get rid of some of that stuff. Cut back. Take a look at your bills and you will clearly see where you can cut back and what stuff should be dumped out of your life. Lighten the load. Give it away or sell it cheap. Call some relatives and friends over and ask them to look over what you are getting rid of it and ask them if they want it. Let go of some of your stuff. It does not define you. You are not your stuff. You are a spiritual being having a human experience. Is it a I want? or a I need...? Let your gift to yourself this year be a time to purge and let go of all that which weighs you down and in many cases has weighed you down for years. Reconnect with your loved ones this season in whatever way you feel inspired to do...Happy Thanksgiving. Let Go...Give and live! ~ Lady D ~~
