Books are so hard to get rid of. I have scads that I will NEVER read, but they are boxed and out of mind. I really do need to get on your program and see what I can get rid of.

There are no less than 29 bookcases in this house, all crammed full but two. The two which are not crammed full are mine.<br /> I am partly feeling pleased at only having two cases of books,about half of which are children's books that are being slowly passed on to grandchildren as they 'grow into' them. <br /> My task-for-self while the Manimal is away on business is to sort through my books and see how much I can live without.<br /> Alas, the other 27 shelves of books belong to the Manimal, and they are not budging. Ever. They are important to him in ways that I cannot fathom as I've moved house repeatedly (25 times? 26?) and I tend to see material things as useful but temporary.<br /> So here I sit, partly decluttering and pleased, and partly overwhelmed by the tons of stuff around me I haven't the right to declutter. Sigh.<br /><br /> I've read half a dozen of the books you mention and except the bible I own none of them at the moment : )<br /> I'm cheering you on in my heart as you continually lighten your load!Rapunzelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-20478425771796825122012-05-20T15:41:54.083+01:002012-05-20T15:41:54.083+01:00Absolutely, Anna - I just spent a happy while look...Absolutely, Anna - I just spent a happy while looking at your very interesting blog. I like the idea of the green martyrdom. Have you caught up with the Innermost House page on Facebook. It is proving to be a space where our aspirations can flourish and be fed. Nice to see you here :0)<br /><br />Bean - hooray! That sounds like a good afternoon!

I loved Lizzie Dripping when I was a kid, my googling led me to youtube and a full episode of Lizzie Dripping, after almost 40 years I still enjoyed the show and off the side on youtube was another show, all 5 episodes available - Carrie's War - again enjoyed almost 40 years ago by the younger me.<br />So thanks to your blog, a google search, and youtube I was able to go back in time to my early 1970's mind and have a mini reunion with myself :) WOW!!<br /><br />Blessings to you,<br /><br />BeanBeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484707482492844677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-57273717292555913762012-05-19T23:55:27.866+01:002012-05-19T23:55:27.866+01:00Our saying is that socks become "holey unto t...Our saying is that socks become "holey unto the Lord". :-)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726695185559261264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-28125599562374401742012-05-19T08:25:03.727+01:002012-05-19T08:25:03.727+01:00Oh yes - they could have been; but only by a huge ...Oh yes - they could have been; but only by a huge darn covering the whole of the ball of my foot and under my toes (the socks were worn threadbare right across there and going into holes over that whole area), and I think it would have felt uncomfortable.Pen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-61150775604782676972012-05-18T23:49:41.012+01:002012-05-18T23:49:41.012+01:00Couldn't the socks be mended?Couldn't the socks be mended?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
