Countdown to Costa Rica

Purging and simplifying a family and home of over a dozen years is a daunting task.  Sifting through the massive pile of stuff hidden in the secret pockets of this old house has been both an adventure into timeless memories and a horror story.  Old letters and photographs aside, we have just plain accumulated a lot of used and useless stuff.  Until last week, this pile of forgotten things was one of the remaining obstacles separating us from the impending adventure to Costa Rica.

And then we sold or gave half of our stuff away at a massive family Moving Sale of epic proportions. I felt a shudder of relief as it left our house never to return.

Ironically, our house does not feel empty.  Sure, the unused are gone; open most cabinets and closets and they are almost bare.  But daily items still litter our dining room, coffee table and studio in a comfortable clutter.

Now that the stuffed psychic burden has lifted, I can turn to the box of framed original paintings that have flummoxed me.  I will take some, I will store some.  But the truth is, I’d much rather leave them in your loving hands and sell them to you.
