Jan 19 2013: "I think that the desire to simplify, and get rid of "stuff", may come from various sources.......for me it came when I started to think about my parents deaths. I thought, oh boy, what I'm I going to do with all their things?"
*** Thank you, Mary - that was also a major influence in my case. My Dad was suffering for ages from a massive "compulsive hoarding" (in German it's called "Messie Disease", derived from the English word "mess"!). If that runs in the family - you better develop "strategies" to deal with (too much) stuff ...
You better start "planting flowers" ... one way or another ...
