you are very wise @professorhobo :) more and more I'm trying to accept this mind frame and let go a bit too - mid 2017 my family and I greatly downsized our life due to a multitude of obstacles and that really was a kick in the ass to me to be like, hey, all these "items" and "objects" do not define me and they are certainly not what brings happiness, I don't need them to be happy.

I do feel like my gut knows I can get more out of the book - so I reread it, and I do get something new and enlightening each time lol thank you for the insightful comments!

You made me wonder - how many books have I read? what does my "library" look like ? I usually rent them at the library, although I do own a few copies of my old favorites.. mostly my sister has inherited my old collection as my current location doesn't allow for much storage lol

thanks again for taking the time to comment and read my blog! <3
