I think we all have certain things that we like to hang on to and those things do define us in a sense, but what's important, I think, is that they don't rule us. If we lose them the world won't come to an end because there are other things that mean a whole lot more. Simplicity definitely gives more freedom to the individual. Great post!

If I like a pair of jeans they better last, iPod (same thing - well hopefully it lasts that long. I'm on year 2 right now), and that goes for friends too. When we live a simple life, we don't need certain things to make us happy. Well maybe a smile and a hug from a family member and we're good to go for a few days.

What a brilliantly simple idea. The egomaniac in me may need to be restrained. I love the bit about things not defining us, that's absolutely bang on the money.

I feel like I'm getting rid of knowledge (or something). I'm having a garage sale in a month or two, so maybe I'll work up to going through them and weeding out a few. Hi Sara,

Not that I've ever had a great deal of stuff, but I did have a great deal of useless stuff. I can now fit everything I own (besides large furniture and collectibles that stay in my parent's garage) into 1.5 car loads. I find that the essentials like clothing are what takes up most space. I've got about 20 or 30 books I still need to sell/donate. I'm working on it too. :) Hi Sara,
