RE: Who said simple is boring?

This is really nice. Love the pics :)
I've always wanted to embrace a minimalist life with far fewer possessions than I have, and I don't really have many. But I could say that in that sense my life is more conventional. In a few months, however, I will have an empty nest when my son leaves for university. And one of the things I'm looking forward to, despite the nostalgia I'm already feeling for him living far from us is how far I'll be able to get rid of a lot of what I have. And live more simply, which is what I want.

And I think you're right in saying.

For me the only obstacle is in our mindsets.

So that's the answer for me.

Hey @coquicoin, thanks for your lovely comment, and I'm happy you like my photos:)

It will be a huge change for you to see your son off. I wish him all the best in his new stage of life.

Yes, minimalism does take some effort, and I think it's easier to accomplish downsizing effectively in stages.

Maybe long time you accomplish letting go of more stuff that you could imagine right at this stage in your life.

It doesn't sound like you are dependent on your possessions, so that's a big plus in the right direction:)
