Gift a Life Well Lived

During the pandemic, I took the unexpected free time to purge my closets of stuff. It took many days. 

When I returned to shopping in thrift stores, which I love to do, I realized that each item, however affordable, had an added cost of time. 

I would need to find a place for this thing in my home and then tend to dusting it, or replacing it’s batteries, or fixing it if it broke or getting rid it when I was done with it’s use. 

I bought less… for a spell. I admit I still love stuff and definitely bought physical presents for people this year. But there’s something magical about gifts of experiences.
