#1 In San Diego, near the ocean, it’s never bitterly cold or oppressively hot. I can appreciate the realities of the nonsublime weather in certain areas of the country, but in San Diego, it’s always heavenly weather.

#2 I had spent the weekend cleaning and tidying up, but my closet didn’t seem to belong to a person who claimed to live a thrifty life. My panic began to mature into worry.

#3 I had a two-car garage that was full of stuff. I was a hypocrite because I was complaining on my blog about how consumerism was ruining people’s lives, while all of my possessions were overrunning my home.

#4 I had to admit that I had a problem. I was telling people to avoid consumerism, but I was still participating in it myself. I realized that my desire to live a meaningful life was being forestalled by the petty demands of my stuff.
