内容正文:
One August afternoon, I SAT in my kitchen, staring at a glass face that hadn't seen daylight since my wedding. My husband and I had just sold our house, and we were busy emptying out the beloved home our family had spent twenty three years filling up. We had decided on key items for the apartment we were moving to in town, donated what we could and rented a place to store our supposedly important objects that left the house still stumped with things that, while not particularly valuable, didn't belong in a landfill. Large ten, my chang, I took a picture of the vase and posted IT online for ten dollars. A couple of messages came in, one wanting additional photos, another asking for a Price cut. As our move day to near, I settled on a new Price, zero dollars, and reposted IT the description, I hate this face. Maybe you won't. In an instant, a woman raised into my house and left happily. With the face encouraged, I posted more my daily posts, and the visits I receive became a precious ray of light in the chaos of my house. Each exchange provided a chance to spare the landfill and to please another person I might not otherwise have encountered. I sit in my apartment today loving each of the belongings that share our small space. I take joy in knowing that somewhere nearby, someone is appreciating something that couldn't come with us.
