Autumn  has arrived . It is there on  our doorstep. The  weather has changed, days are getting shorter. Leaves  will be changing colors giving  us wonderful masterpieces we can view in awe. This is also the time for  yard sales. Getting rid of things we no longer want in preparation for newer things mostly that we want but  do not really need. I never really did enjoy yard sales too much,  I feel  I have at this point of my  life too much stuff already in my  basement & attic so why add to it  by buying other people's out of style  & used items. I mean how much stuff does one really need? I am sure there are many of us that are like  little pack rats holding on to this & that item for memories sakeor  because you wiill never know when you may need it.  Right? No, they say if you do not use  it or wear it in 3 yrs  you never will. Belive me I have been guilty of  this behavior many  times.  But  on the  subject of memories , holding on to theses objects for  what ever reason they bring you comfort, cannot compare to memories you find inyour heart.  So keep  maybe  1or 2 items if this makes you happy, but do your self a favor & get rid of the vast  majority of  items & then go see  the  foliage.
