Buy or don't buy?
This week I’m sharing something about myself that’s been happening recently. I wonder if it’s happening to you as well! Let me know in the comment section if you want to! Blessings, Krysta

Sure do. At 76, I'm not quite sure when I started doing it but I remember flipping a playful obsinity back at a dear friend in 2011 when I bought a new car and, she told me it should "see me out". At that time I still envisioned a shiny red sports car in my future.I still have that 2011 car which I take care of meticulously. my dear friend has since passed, but I sometimes laugh and say, "Linda,you may be right". I do that thing about asking myself ,"why buy another new car at this stage when I'm getting to where I don't even want to deal with driving in our crazy metropolis at my age". I see this as wisdom kicking in.
I also find myself refraining from stocking up on certain staples that no one else would want after I'm gone, like supplements, favorite items of clothing and toiletries that may get discontinued (as they seem to be doing a lot lately). I feel sometimes like the universe is sending me a message that I might possibly being discontinued.lol
And here's a kicker. I find myself leaving tags on clothing I buy until I actually wear them because I am subconsciously thinking the "kids" might want to return them if they've never been worn. What the H is up with that? Especially when I know very well that my offspring would not be running around returning stuff to stores after I'm gone. It would be a slam dunk to the Goodwill.
The good news is I'm still buying green bananas though😁
PS: Hubs and I watched a movie last night I'd like to recommend called Still Mine. I feel like it's a good segue to this conversation.
I do, indeed find a very similar process in play within my own thought processes. As an elder with several physical "issues" and a house full of the accumulated junk of a lifetime that I am drowning under, the idea of acquiring anything new triggers an internal rebuke.
