Travelling lighter

Some brief reflections on cleaning up our house before leaving Australia.  Why is it that we accumulate so much stuff?  Someone once said to us that the more you own the less free you are, and I think there is some truth in this. We went through the process of sorting through what we needed in Cyprus, what we would store and what we would either sell or throw out.  Amazing how much stuff we actually threw out or passed onto unsuspecting friends whose children attended our recent garage sale and walked away with a wheelbarrow full of toys.........apologies to all, but there's always that next council cleanup! 


It feels good to be travelling a little lighter for a while in terms of posessions.  We'll see how long this lasts with four kids!
