“Nobody loves me everybody hates me guess I’ll go eat worms!”That’s a song we used to sing at camp. It’s how I felt today when I gave a moving sale and nobody came. I had some good stuff too!
Oh well--their loss. However, I think there is a more cosmic aspect to this. You know I had to have it.
(Originally posted 2/23/08) Yes, I get it. If you’re letting something go, you have no right to expect to be rewarded for doing so. Just let it go. So, after a week of getting up at 5:00 a.m. every morning to sort, haul and move the crap I’m keeping to the new apartment (15 car trips!) and this morning to make sure that the boat-load of crap I’m letting go (i.e., selling, I thought) was organized so that buyers could flow through my four showrooms and that items were priced to sell--nobody came. Only my business partner and her husband showed up. The were there there to help with the brisk sales traffic--ha! (Thanks Hope and Erich--for not making fun and sticking it out!)
And--wait for it--the cosmic lesson is--LET IT GO! Let it go for real with no expectation of a return. That’s the point after all. Just move on, call your family, friends and the thrift store, get a receipt and let it go! Geeeez! O.K. I’ve got it now and I’m letting it go for real. The ROI is my freedom from 30 years of crap and that’s enough for me.
Peace,
I’m out.

We have so much stuff in our garage from when the kids were growing up I can't park my car in the garage. I keep telling my wife we need to clean out the garage but she can't "LET GO".
My oldest daughter is married and she has stuff in the garage, my baby girl is in college and she has stuff in the garage, and my middle is at home with my GRANDdaughter and they both have stuff in the garage.
I guess sometimes it's just hard to "LET GO".
