I understand your desire to leave the acquisition addiction behind but I also think our collections, our things, the stuff we choose to focus contributes to the story of our lives. My children are so interested in my little collections and interests - not for themselves - but because (I think) it helps them to understand me better, outside of being their mother. Isn't it such a harmless pleasure to pull out the copper and surprise someone with that hidden part of yourself?L'age moyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297717031402619963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-10466931237926093142011-03-10T19:20:19.353-08:002011-03-10T19:20:19.353-08:00mimi- I think it might be an age thing...!

Hoping to be able to work on this in my therapy. Mania is a camouflaged feeling.mettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732534795009852825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-76557047086993847062011-03-09T09:39:53.028-08:002011-03-09T09:39:53.028-08:00Grateful for your reflection and your shift, which...Grateful for your reflection and your shift, which echoes my own, though I was never an avid collector. Feelings of shame or guilt are gifts because they show us how far we have moved from our attachments and manic getting. When my mother was in her 80s she said, "Once, I couldn't wait to get all these things, and now I can't wait to let them go." I often think of her words as I pare down.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-7153582534562317812011-03-09T09:34:25.604-08:002011-03-09T09:34:25.604-08:00I love that your assessing and re-assessing...
