My husband and I have been talking about down-sizing. This big house has served its purpose well, but we no longer need all this square-footage. But with a large house comes a lot of stuff to fill it. And now there has come a time in my life, when I look around at all the accumulation and say “Enough!” More stuff will not bring me true happiness. Rather, I need to be gleaning, purging, and giving things away rather than gathering more.
