Any failed minimalists out there?

I would never attend any party like that. Heck, I have enough stuff as it is.

Then take a small knick-knack and give it to Goodwill or something. There was no rule that you had to keep it -- you just had to get at least one thing out of our house.

Well, I did a big clean up job 4 years ago when I moved home. I'm certainly not going to throw out stuff I currently have as they survived the big clean up. I always have uses for them later on in life. Any item that has found a space in my home by now must have earned it. When I finally retire, I will look through each piece of stuff I have again and then decide on its fate. Think how busy I will be. I think I'll end up keeping most of them. One thing I realize is that I have not been adding much stuff lately in my life and still feel great - so in a way, I am working towards minimalism.

I keep almost all wood scraps from woodworking in my workshop. I'll need them someday. But right now I have to clear out a spot big enough to build my cedar strip canoe. So I have to get rid of some stuff that I dont need.
