The whole weekend I celebrated while living among a friendly bunch of cardboard boxes. They decided that this weekend all of them wanted to be filed with my life's souvenirs, and deary me, there was tons of it!
I think you really start to understand how fortunate we are when you start moving. First of all in my case you move to a new country and a new house. Secondly I get the chance to revisit old memories through putting everything in boxes.
But what I really like, is looking through things and throwing away the material stuff you dont need. However this time I wanted not just to throw things in the bin but try to find a better life for them to provide others with new memories. So, I searched the whole town to find a special bin for recycling clothes. With 4 full bags of clothes I really didnt wanted to throw it away but surprise surprise, France doesnt seem to share my passion... I ended up giving it all to a happy employee of Auchan supermarket that mentioned that his family would be pleased.
All the other 'old' stuff I put every night on the corner of the street and its very amusing, cos within 30 minutes everything has been adopted by others.
The rest in put in the special paper bins and glass bins, recycling counts!
It does feel better to start a new life without just getting rid of it all and try to help others. Cos what is really clear, we are fortunate, being healthy and employed and that is something you start realising even more when you move to a new place. A wise lesson for me, to think about it a bit more often.
Moving seems to be a humbling experience.
