Simplifying

Have you ever just decide to get rid of everything? It's hard, it's a really hard thing to do. I am in the process of "simplifying".  I have a full storage unit of stuff that I can no longer afford to store.  I have bags and boxes I have been toting around with me since I don't have a home. I also have the best friend I will ever have couch surfing with me. That is what I have. Some say 'Do not let your possessions define you',  I like the idea of that as a matter of fact I love it.  It is just not that simple what I have left of the last 24 years is precious to me, it reminds me of where I have been, things I've done, and the people who have shared all of that with me. I don't think so much that my stuff defines me, just that it more explains things about me.  but, as I said before I have no home, no car and no money for storage so I do have to downsize. Today my friend and I are going to Reno to sell our clothes at Plato's Closet. I will let you now how I do. This weekend we a having a huge everything must go garage sale/ BBQ, a burger and a beer for $5. I figure if I am going to get rid of everything I should make a profit doing so.
