I recently wrote a post titled ‘10 Things I Would be Sad to Lose’. And that got me thinking….again (since I became a blogger all I do is think). What items can I NOT live without. So, I am looking thru the lens of…..what do I use all the time that is a part of me – things I love or….’can’t live without’. I am talking about material things – not love, emotions, money, hearing, etc. Now, I do realize I can live without most material things (stuff is just stuff) – but that is a subject for another day.

Here is my list –

1. Glasses – I can not see up close without them. How would I read? Or see faces?

2. Toilet paper – I am not ready to start using magazine pages, corn cobs (yes, that used to be a thing), or drip dry.

3. Phone – I use my phone daily. I try not to use it so much that I am constantly looking at social media, texts or email.

4. Computer – How could I write my blog posts? Or be able to send emails – so hard to do on the phone.

5. Scissors – I am constantly cutting things or ripping boxes open.

6. Vitamins – I love my supplements. They provide for me nutrients that I can’t get from today’s food.

7. Electricity – Candles, gas lanterns – no thank you!

8. Running water – This is something I take for granted every day. Turn on a faucet and here it comes. AND it’s even clean!

9. Matches – I really have a hard time lighting fires with a flint and dry wood. Let me strike a match any day!

10. Toothbrush – I love squeaky clean teeth and gums. My toothbrush ensures I have that every day!

I find my list very interesting. It is interesting because I had to really search and find 10 things. And, that actually got me pretty excited. Why? Because I am FINALLY at the point in my life where stuff is just stuff. I don’t need it. I don’t covet it. It does not define who I am. What about you? Think about your ‘10 Things You Can’t Live Without?’ Do you have 10? Less than 10? Or many more. Let me know.
