 In my 60s and it is a joy to divest thoughtfully after a lifetime of acquisition.   I feel it is a circle of sorts; one must release one thing to make space for another. 

Exception: #bitcoin

 Yeah it’s an amazing feeling (getting more space for memories instead of stuff). Plus I tend to value the things I have more when I have less. It’s interesting to look back though on how different I am from my past self. I’m sure when I’m in my 60’s I will say the same thing about my current self 🫂

 Borders on hoarder. My mother ended in a packed house (it wasn’t like the tv ones) but it was distressing to me (I am a neatnik) and anyone visiting, to the point where few would attempt to do.   It is mental illness, and requires patience, compassion, disconnection from attachment to outcomes.  It never improves (I organized the house for her many, many times).   Love is a choice; people are work. I had to embrace the chaos, accept that it wasn’t my fault, and move on, so that I be there for her.
