It actually took me several years to get completely down here. It was a huge relief to get rid of stuff. Once you get going, you wonder why you didn't do it a long time ago. Dump your shit! Don't think too much about it. Give stuff to people who need and will use it. Don't agonize. Keep a few treasured and symbolic things. It feels really, really good to be rid of the rest.Marc Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289566244668566622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6277313567524932904.post-61209527962141345332010-05-28T12:22:29.251-05:002010-05-28T12:22:29.251-05:00It is the feeling of the place, the way my heart i...<i>It is the feeling of the place, the way my heart is when I think about Yucatàn from a distance, and the joy and comfort I feel when I arrive home.</i><br /><br />I am in Tulsa now, trying to dispose of this ridiculous quantity of stuff we've accumulated over the years. It frequently gets me down and I have moments of despair when I think of the process before me. It's an ordeal, something to get through before I can once again experience the delights you've set out on your list. <br /><br />I have an almost physical craving to be in Yucatan right now. I keep up with my friends down there via facebook, and I am deeply envious. I talk to Mike twice a day and I can hear the birds in the courtyard, hear the waves on the sand. Life is so short, and I want to spend the rest of mine down there, in that beautiful place, experiencing life as you've so well described it. thanks for this, too . . . lynetteBigAssBellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00196713522104157126noreply@blogger.com
