Lifting the burden of possessions

I've backed off posting things on eBay for awhile. I'm mulling over what would really sell well. I have some fairly nice clothes that I can list, so I'll see how that goes.

Lately, though, I've been more interested in just ridding myself of extraneous items and not taking the time to list them in auctions. Probably foolish money-wise, but at some point you have to ask yourself if hanging onto things just in case you can sell them is really worth it. I mean, is it worth the space these things consume? Right now, to me, it's not.

Having already cleared out a lot of "why on earth did I keep THAT" items, I'm finding myself more at peace. My tiny house is looking more like home and less like a storage shed. I even feel renewed energy to clean and DUST! What's up with that?!

I'll tell you what's up - it's cleansing to be rid of things you no longer want, need, or use. It's satisfying to hand them over to someone else who can be blessed by them. Apparently, I was no longer being blessed by these possessions -- I was burdened. I feel like a great weight has been lifted off me. Now, I can see more clearly what other things need to go and which ones are really necessary for me to keep and use.
