During our process of letting go, I've come across an item that I've been toting around, taped up and sealed, stuffed away for 30 + years. It's the only item left, that I can think of, that crossed the ocean with me, some 23 years ago, during my move to the United States.
It's not really valuable, although it is no longer produced and nearly impossible to find, it's not really sentimental in nature, I mean, no one special gave it to me, it wasn't passed down through the generations, to be honest, I can't even remember when I bought it.
I can tell you, for me, at that time it was a HUGE luxury. An expense, I certainly could not afford, and the purchase of it must have really put a strain on our budget. Luxuries, during that point in my life, simply weren't an option.
But here it is, I still have it and it even made the cut, to move with us across the country, in those 8 boxes that were to become our life, some 7 months ago. Anais Anais powder!
I've kept this powder sealed up tight, unused for over 30 years...Why?????
I have not so much, as enjoyed one single soft, intoxicatingly delicious smelling puff of pure pleasure in all of these years. How ludicrous......
Thankfully, most of the heavenly manna is still inside, just sitting there silently, just waiting to be enjoyed.
So now, she sits on my bathroom shelf, where I give myself a hefty pat of pleasure, after every shower, and where I will continue to enjoy her until there is none left, and then I will release her.
It really is funny what we hold on to, isn't it? What are you holding on to?
