Is Enough Enough?

I was at work yesterday. I needed a specific piece of equipment. Everyone I found was already being used. I was thinking that we needed more, until I remembered we had purchased several new ones at the beginning of the year. I suppose this case is one of those items that you find a use for even if you don't need to use it. Which made me think, if we got a dozen more of said item, would that be enough? Or would we just find more things to use them for, and need even more?

Is enough ever really enough?

Last night I was looking through my fabric stash. I've always sewn: pajama pants, quilts, blankets, pillow cases, etc. But my frequency of sewing has definitely decreased. I wanted to go through and weed out old projects that I haven't (and would probably never) finish, and keep stuff that I thought I might actually use. There were a few patterns that I liked. Is that enough? Does liking a pattern actually ensure I'll use it? And back on the topic of work, we get in lots of items. Some of which I love. But does loving something mean that I need to have it? That I'll still love it when I bring it home, and see it every day? Most of the time, my answer is a resounding "No". This week my big splurge was buying myself a mug. It will be my fall mug, you see. I had four mugs and four travel mugs (so now five and four). Which is reasonable. And no worries, I've already made good use of said mug!

I still have this dream of moving out with all (or almost all) of my worldly possessions packed into one (small) car. The trouble is that the stuff I'm left with is almost all useful. This does not mean I will use it... I just have to slowly get rid of stuff. And 90% of the time, I really don't miss it once it's gone.
