I don't mind accumulating things, but when it reaches certain point, I do go crazy and throw out lots. It feels great.
The problem is I also like buying new things and I tend to quckly refill all the new available space.
ah~ such a dilemma...lol
By the way, there was this book written by some psychologist years ago, it was about throwing things away and feeling free.
I do believe throwing things away gives new energy. Things we own do seem to take energy out of me.
I have really hard time throwing things out at times though. It is funny. Each time I go through boxes full of old letters, cards, books, toys, clothes,,,etc, I know most of them are useless now but I cling to them.
I need more will power to throw things out and feel new and fresh more often I think.
Same with the orchids. Some of my complex are not blooming for two years. They are getting quite big though, taking up valuable space. I may never see them bloom again as I cannot lower the temperature for them any more than I can provide them.
Then again, I keep thinking, maybe they will flower again next year. It was a hard find. It was so pretty....
