I can
honestly say I am not a materialist person. I do dream for the luxury car, the
wallet that is always full, the latest electrical items that have just been
released in store, and not to mention the best damn computer that money can buy
when it comes to graphics. Wouldn’t it
be lovely to have the best of the best?
I have
noticed my friends buy items just for the sake of having the latest equipment.
I honestly do not believe they need it, and find myself wondering why they constantly
keep upgrading their lounge when it is only 1 year old, their dining suite when
it is perfect, and their television when it is working fine and much larger
than mine.
In saying
the above, one of my annoying materialistic habits, is to buy something small and
then use it for a while –the Knick knacks you pick up sometimes for e.g.: the
stupid gimmicks to help you cut up salad easy... You know that one. (Insert
roll eyes here). You see them showing
you at a store, and you think wow I could use that, wouldn’t it be great to
have. So you purchase it, curse at the expense later for being sucked in again,
use it for a while and then store it into a corner cupboard and forget about
it. So why do I buy it?
So I decided
it was time to give back to others. Empty that overloaded corner cupboard and give
back to others who may be looking for that one particular item. Upon emptying
the cupboard I had in total approx. 30 Knicks knacks of assortments, bowls and
plates I had not used for over 5 years, and 2 coffee machines that still worked…and
much much more.
I organized a
garage sale and everything sold. I didn’t ask much for the items, hardly
anything really, but felt great about the Spring Cleaning (Spring here in
Australia) and giving away items to people that need it. It made me decide that
the corner cupboard was just the start and now to that annoying linen cupboard.
To all of you with that annoying cupboard, or items that can be put to good
use, it is time to give back and appreciate what you have and how you can help
others.
