This is an attempt to psychologically prepare for the day when I have to say goodbye to my excess of possessions when, God forbid, I decide to retire and move to a smaller abode. SO.... For the next month, I will be Rosa Milne. She is a 72 year old retired theatre wardrobe mistress who has recently sold her house and is moving into a condo. She is going through her possessions and learning to let go.

For 50 years, my coffee table has been home to this walrus skull. How can I possibly let go of these old bones? I'll be moving boxes and rocks and skulls. The task of letting go is overwhelming. How will I possible be ready by May? Tomorrow, I call the school to see if Isabel Menzies can use them for their art clases. Perhaps the science class. No bones about it. I can do this. My old bones bid adieu to these old bones.

Oh, and if you are interested in who I really am.... here's my website and blog.
Love your idea and I think it will strike a chord with many of us!I downsized about 8 years ago when I moved into a much smaller house and have been "downsizing" again as it has refilled in the interim! My aim too is a much simpler life.Will enjoy reading your posts!
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea! I love the title pages with the house in the palm of your hand and the skull sketch.
