I'll have to try the 100 things challenge sometime. Also, something I didn't mention in this post is that my parents were definitely "collectors" and have amassed sooo much stuff that I can't imagine what they'll do with it all when they decide to move from the home they've owned for 30+ years. Seeing how stuff accumulates definitely makes me want to own as little as possible, too. Ha ha, you’re right, Mneiae, I definitely have “minimalist tendencies”!

Not that you even hint at the word, but you've shaved your belongings down to what you need. You aren't constantly paring down your possessions/commitments/habits, but I'm pretty sure that if you were to do the 100 things challenge, you would easily be able to say that you owned just 100 things. Good for you! You're a great example to us all. It sounds like you’re a minimalist. Not that you even hint at the word, but you’ve shaved your belongings down to what you need.
