Winding down. Keeping it simple.

Having had a few too many moves in my life, has helped keep life simple.

I recently donated many of my books to a library. More still to go.

All clothing I haven't worn for awhile, that went off to charity.

Sentimental value items, photos, films, paintings, are things worth keeping.

If children are grown up, give them everything they need or want. Watch them enjoy those items while you live.

All those dust gathering decorative items, linens, and furniture the kids and you don't want, give them to Value Village. Someone may be interested in them.

If you have more money than you will ever need, invest it, help your children with the deposit for a home, for further education of themselves or your grandchildren, bursaries for underprivileged children, and donating to charities.

Cars, motor bikes, bicycles, boats, private airplanes, kayaks, and other toys; keep what you use, pass on to children or sell the rest. The same goes for valuable paintings, high end dinner services, antiques - Get a valuer before selling these.

Downsizing your home is difficult to do if some of your children and parents still live with you, if you have pets, if you work from home, if you and family do sports, and if you need gardening and snow removal tools and machinery.

Once your needs and those of the family under your care are dealt with, sell and donate everything else you don't need, and move into an apartment with no garden to care for. Sell the big house through a reputable Estate Agent.

If your children are not interested in your business, sell it. Get a Business Broker and advice on how to deal with the sale.

Simplify your financial affairs too. Speak to your Bank or Investment Advisor on how to do this, and how to save on taxes.

Most important. Update your Continuing Powers of Attorney ( health and property), and Wills. The same goes for Trusts, Life, Critical Illness, and Long Term Care Insurance policies.

I yearn to simplify my life further because having more than I need for myself and family, frustrates me. It is burdensome.

I would like the freedom to lock the door behind me and to travel the world before age and health prevent it.

When you join the host of angels in Heaven, your children will thank you for not leaving them to clear everything.

P.S. ...not my house!

Was delighted at being invited to perform several of my piano compositions at the Court of Brooklyn in Whitby to a great audience.

Had a lot of fun playing many other well known pieces and leading the sing along.

A very special thank you to Peter Bashaw for organizing everything.

It is only when we survive in the wilderness of life, that we learn to Whom we unconditionally owe our very existence, our allegiance, our purpose.
