Simplicity

By Christina Puntigam  

Every year we seem to have the same thing happen; too much stuff, too little space.  It wasn’t so bad when we had six addresses in four years, we were always moving and evaluating and getting rid of whatever didn’t fit in a box, or in the truck we rented.  I was always amazed at the fact that no matter how long we lived somewhere there were at least six large garbage bags of stuff that was being thrown away.

Relationship Resolution
