I love sheet music. A kind acquaintance lost his wife awhile ago and asked me to come look through her music. He encouraged me to take whatever I wanted. I was like a kid in a candy store! When my perusing through the music ended, I had four sacks of music. There was a little nagging feeling that said, "What are you doing, bringing all this into your home??!"
Some will be for my sister, who still gives piano lessons. Some will eventually end up at my parents' so that we can play the old songs for them when we visit. The rest I can use when playing for weddings or whatever. Yes, I have brought more "stuff" into the home, but will use it. I needn't be "scared" to bring in things I will use. Simplifying has made room for what I really want.
