it’s a spiritural thing for me, this Thanksgiving I am giving my nephews and sister and mom things I have clung to but I am wanting to rid myself of the want so I am giving them to them and for the record to those who wanted me to give my sister my niece’s work of art I am doing exactly that…free of charge…makes me feel less heavy doing this…freer.

You doin’ okay, sir? People starting to give away stuff is often a sign of impending relapse.

oh it’s totally fine…it is part of a spiritual rule I am following…don’t want to say because it’s scriptural…thanks for worrying about me.
I respect that. I just suggest not doing this impulsively. Sort of make a process where you give yourself time to back out of giving up some stuff. You can always bequeath those items that are special to you to someone later on. It may mean even more to them then.
My best friend who passed in March of this year left me his camera bag with a circa 2009 Canon EOS 7D in it. The camera is 15 years old and long in the tooth by digital camera standards, but it’s the camera I use most right now despite owning newer and “better” camera bodies. Photographing with Ray’s 7D and lenses connects me back to him and dulls the ache of missing him a touch.
Something to consider?

most of it is heirlooms I want to pass on to my younger nephews because I don’t know how much time I have left…you’re right…I held back on giving away more…want it to be gradual, yet insightful…thanks man.

Well there is nothing wrong with thinking of others and wanting them to be happy, so a tip of the hat to ya. Lord knows I need to work on myself in this department.
