Live and learn, home

Live and learn.

Has a nice ring to it.

So much living and learning at home.

So many necessities, like a refrigerator, running water, indoor plumbing.

Closets, dressers, shelves. All filled with stuff.

Filing cabinets for the paperwork of life. Full.

Never ends. At least it seems so.

But what have i learned from all my/our stuff?

For me personally, i’d like to live with as few things as possible.

Why?

So i don’t have to store them, take care of them, and possibly insure them.

Why does that matter to me?

So i can spend mental, physical, and spiritual energy living and having fun with people i love.

Insight: We spend time chasing money until one day we start spending money chasing time.
