All the more reason not to bring alot of crap, that probablly, wont hold up to hawaii's climate and humidity,
I believe the native americans believe you have to give up your personal possessions, in order to move on to something bigger and better.
I know for myself I have put everything in storage for the last year, and you know what, only on occasion i miss something when i needed it right then.
it sure has put materialistic ways aside. Alot of stuff in storaage I cant even remeber what some of the stuff is.
And the stuff I need, well its uasully something from the kitchen that would make cooking a little more easy at times.
asides my dogs 1 bird and a few pieces of art work, ive decide I will get rid of most of our stuff,
That way I get to go shopping for new stuff when i get their, If I am going to pay roughly 8 thousand dollars to move my stuff, then it better be worth more like 32000.00 dollars worth of stuff, now with a few exeptions such as antiques which i here dont hold up well in hawaii. who has furniture that costs that much? I would be afraid to sit on it.lol besides if you have furnitur costing that much why are you moving to puna, wouldnt you belong over in kona?
I know having your belongings when you move is nice but with that brings the baggage from where you are moving from, for me i would rather be a little more ( when in rome).
Im not sure i am looking forward for shopping for plastic furniture since it seams to be the only thing that doesnt disinigrate due to hawaii's climate. nagahide anyone? lol
I suppose the biggest thing ive learned about putting everything in storage is we have learned to live with alot less. Its amazing how much we can accumilate in just a few years. and although my house now feels like one of those model homes, sterile without my personality, ya know make it appealing to buyers so no personal effects, it sure has made me hate this house, and cant wait to get it sold, im tired of living in a better homes and garden catalog, always ready to show at any moment, and in this economy the showings get fewer and farther in between, Keeping my fingers crossed have another showing tomorrow. maybe the will be from hawaii and we can just swap house's, well if your going to dream DREAM BIG.lol
setting my soul free....
