Eggs zackly! We fell so in love with minimalism after hiking that we carried it over into our home. We moved a couple years ago and we gave away so much stuff! It was good stuff, but unnecessary stuff and we gave it to folks who really needed it and could use it. (I'm reminded of George Carlin's routine about "stuff".) Anyway, never again will I clutter up my life and/or my home. Less really is more!!
