I watched in great sadness my neighbors home being leveled today. It burned a few months ago and today it was all loaded into a truck and hauled off. Decades of happiness, sadness, collections, memories. All gone in a day’s work by a few guys and some heavy equipment.

It got me thinking. We. All of us. We own nothing! We are just caretakers of the things that are here while we are. None of it is going with us, to wherever.

Whatever we think we own will simply be another’s treasure or possibly trash when we leave.

Leave pleasant thoughts and warm memories. Wander with a smile. A memory of you is all you will ever truly own. The rest is all just ‘stuff’.
