another productive day!

Yesterday I took things to the tip that can't be donated, sold, given away or recycled. Today I did another tip run and then loaded some things into my car to take to my caravan. I was struggling a bit to be honest as I tried to pick some heavy pictures up off the pavement to load into my car.
A teenager wearing a hoodie approached and asked if I needed any help. By this time I had things under control so I told them I was OK but 'thank's for offering, that was really kind.'
As they walked off they called over their shoulder,' I hope you have a good day.'
I said, 'Thanks, you too.'
I wish people would appreciate young people more. There is much more good than bad in them as was proved by this interaction.
I went to my caravan and was happy to find it in one piece and relatively damp free.
I was advised to leave bowls of salt out to soak up the moisture over winter and this appears to have worked as inside the caravan it is much less damp than this time last year.
The outside of the caravan needs a pressure wash and I have that booked in for the spring.
As I was unpacking my things and finding homes for them in the caravan I felt incredibly, joyfully happy.
I consider myself to be a happy person anyway but the feeling of freedom and peace that came over me was in another league!
It is a strange but positive experience whittling down possessions only keeping the things you really treasure.
I realise the things I value most are inexpensive. They include certain CD's, a few photo's and little gifts I have been given by people who really know me and really know what I like.
I may fit in one more tip run today and then I am almost ready to move!
