It makes me think of how I have so many possessions, and I don't treat them well. My car's a mess, my rooms a mess, I have ten purses, but they're all filled with crap. This cycle of neglect to all of my possessions makes me even more materialistic when I don't even care for all that I do have.

I was invited to join a book club last month and the selection for this month's meeting-yes, one and the same. It is uncanny how it keeps coming up! By the way, I loved it.
