The great-disposable-year

This year Stefan's Mum proclaimed the official "great disposable year" (originally titled "Das große Wegschmeiß-Jahr"), which means you throw away all the things which you haven't been using for ages. Maybe it has been inspired by Ikea's Knut, where you throw your Christmastree out of the window, but i quite liked the idea very much and so i chose to apply it to our household.



By the way: a big welcome back to our computer, he chose to stay alive for a little while longer.

The sense behind all the throw-away thingy is simply to get rid of all the stuff you don't need anymore - which has already been long over due... - and to finally get the things you really need.
E.g.: thing you don't need - guy driving his car (So you got a car..! Fine, and you know how to use your throttle very effectively... Good.... you're such a *$%~!^^*+ mmmh, let's look for a good spanish cuss word - no! let's look for)
E.g.: something you really need! True love could be this - but maybe it's already too hackneyed to be longed for?



Well, that's rubbish then... Ò_ò As it is, it's simply better for you in the long run to chuck away all your old ugly plates and to go and buy beautiful ones which make you smile when you eat from them. (quote: Maria José P.) - Not that i am now trying to promote diverse furniture stores, but sherds still bring good luck ;)

And concerning one of my favourite avocations - eating - i should really think about an inventory in my store cupboard. Maybe i should say adieu to my sister's christmas-cookie i forgot in a drawer...

But more than all this one should free oneself from all the material burdens that keep you from really living your life: to get rid of all the mental blockades and to change your point of view and see, life is great and it's worth living it!


Somehow i found more folk thinking about that topic...

In that sense i wish you a perfect yeaar 2008, let's see how this disposable year works out...
Slainte and cheers, Ingrid
