God bless you, June. Living in a small space, whether temporarily or permanently, requires an intimate cooperation with your partner to be kind and considerate.

It’s funny how we both would grab our computers as one of our most valuable possessions, yet not many years ago, we didn’t even know what a laptop was, and certainly didn’t count one as important to us! Times have changed. Blessings to you as you build your home!

I’d definitely grab my computer. Content is impossible to replace!

This: “Because those items represent people.” Exactly! I have several things packed away that I’m going to enjoy unpacking and reminiscing over when we finally get settled! I find it’s only my belongings that are linked to people that I truly care about. That’s a good thing! Great post, Lisa!

Beautiful choices, Sarah. None of those things could be replaced (well, I suppose we could reprint our digital photos, but who would want to tackle a project like that!).

Good answer, Floyd. Jeff was just looking over my shoulder a minute ago making a comment about who will get my Bible journals after I die. Maybe that’s something I should add to my “grab in case of fire” list. (Not that I expect my kids to read any of my journals–I’ll likely want them all destroyed, but I might still want them myself for a few more years.)

Yes, I’m tracking with you on those three things, Debbie!

When I think about losing stuff, I tend to want to hoard even more (put it in the cloud! get a lockbox!). But I’d rather just release my hold on it, and enjoy what I have now, now; and what I’ll have later, later. Thanks for stopping by, Valerie.

Ha. Maybe it just means that you’re living lightly, Michele, not holding on to any one thing too much. That’s good. I’m like you with the planner (except mine is on my laptop/phone); I need it to know what to do next. 🙂
