捨得 Let go

一直以來,都有一點點儲物狂,也一度病得不輕….

自從決定出走,最需要調整和學習的-----是捨得

對的….我是作好了準備要捨棄身外物了

除了一些特定的收藏品,和有紀念價值的物品外,一切都不會留下。

身外物之多,讓我有點無從入手。我自己其實已作充份心理調整,反而是朋友們有點覺得可惜,所以如果你有興趣領養我家中的身外物,請不要客氣。

書已經處理掉約半數,衣服是另一大煩惱,還有十多年來的陶藝作品,各式其式的手作用具材料,烹飪用具,以至大大小小的傢具電器……

如果香港也有garage sales,我想我可以舉行一個為期至少兩週的 garage sales…

逐一拍照放上facebookfree物品群組,一是費時,另外約很多很多陌生的人交收才是最痛苦的事。


大家又有沒有其他好的建議呢?

I am a bit of a “collectolic “ and like to collect things.

Since I decided to take off, one of the main adjustment is to learn to let go.

Yes, I am ready to let go of the ……. Material items.


Except for some specific collectibles, and things that store memories, I am planning to let go of all my belongings.

As you can imagine, I find it very hard to start.  I have already made up my mind, it is really my friends, who feel that it is kind of sad to have to give up stuff.  So, if you are interested to adopt any of my belongings, please feel free to let me know.

I have gotten rid of half of my books, but there are still …. Potteries from 10 years’ hard work, all kinds of crafting stuff, bakery tools, as well as furniture and appliances.

If we can have garage sales in Hong Kong, I am sure I can hold a two weeks long garage sales.

Posting items in the “Freebie” groups on FB is an option, but it is very time consuming.  Does anyone has suggestions for me?

  1. Why do you need to give them away? Don't you need them once you come back?

  3. Betty, how can you pick up so many stuff?
    I do not want to spend money on storage, it is very expensive. It's time to stop accumulating material stuff.

  4. You are right. I also don't have room to store many things in Singapore. The books you are about to pass to me, I plan to store them at my mom's in US. Luckily she enjoys reading those books as well, so more people will get to enjoy your books! Hope you find a good solution to resolve the "excess" issue.
