Stuff...

I have been in New Mexico for the last few days staying with my mother.  She has Alzheimers.  My stepfather needed to go to his granddaughter's wedding.  I have spent my days here cleaning up and trying to throw stuff away. And I have to say, life in the RV has never been more appealing.  My mother was a successful business woman and built a nice house and has a lot of nice "stuff". Now she has no ability to decern trash from treasure.  The house and property are older and large and require more care and attention than my parents can give it.  It makes her very anxious to have hired help in or around the house.  Needless to say - there is lots to do and all that "stuff" is now a burden.


For me, the lesson is:  Spend money enjoying life, not on  "stuff". At the end of the road, you probably won't care whether it came from Target or Tiffany.






See you down the road
