Gettin' rid of yer crap ain't so bad...

There have been many jokes made (mostly by myself) about having to get rid of the overwhelming majority of my worldly possessions...and taking a financial loss on them at the same time. But, somehow, I am truly feeling liberated by the whole process.
Yes. There have been items that stung to offload (my Jeep, my beautiful antique solid walnut desk, and my grill/smoker come to mind). As much as I've enjoyed these things over the years, and know I'll never be in a position to replace them....it's still just stuff. "You can't take it with you" is a cliché, but there's a real nugget of truth there. No matter your belief about what happens on the other side of death, I think we can all agree we're leaving our crap behind.
It really feels good to loose some of the material trappings I've accumulated and possibly being a part of making someone else's world a bit better. There's just some intangible feeling of freedom that has come with getting rid of all the detritus that came about in days past. I'm digging it.
Today is a good day. Feelin' good.
