343 days of housesitting now
I read recently about a woman who loved staying in other people's homes because she was never pressured by their possesions. I know exactly what that means. When we are surrounded by our own things we see what needs to be cleaned, fixed, tossed, redone, used up, started on or renewed. We can feel the pressure to use the things we have as well as keep them in good condition, not to mention replacing old things, like china, vacuum cleaners etc.
When we live with other people's stuff we don't have any emotional investment in it. We look after what needs to be looked after, clean the dishes, scrub the pots, water the plants etc., but that is about it. We are free from the pressure of possesions; or better yet are not possessed by our possessions.
