Saturday, 10 April 2010 -- Day 111 (124)

Great day shopping w/ a great friend and spending time w/ great daughters! Why do we accumulate so much stuff? All we're doing is forcing those great friends and family members to go through all that stuff and figure out what to do w/ it when we're gone. Dad still has most of Mom's clothes; my aunt Irene took some. Dad has asked Kenzie, Maddy, and me if we want any of her shoes or makeup. The shoes are too small for us, and I did take some finger nail polish and some eye cream. He doesn't necessarily want to get rid of Mom's stuff, but he wants someone to get some use out of it. That's the thing about stuff, it has to get used or it serves no purpose. We come into this world naked and that's how we leave it so why do we think stuff gives us purpose? Its pleasure is typically temporary, but is that bad? To have fun, even of the transitory type, is a worthy objective. I've been accumulating a lot of words w/ these 111 blog posts, and I hope someone's getting some use out of them. I'm just glad I don't have to find a place to store them all....my closet is already overflowing.
