Give and Get Things for Free When Moving

Many people really hate moving from one place to another. I'm not one of those people. I think that moving gives us a chance to overhaul our material lives. It's a great time to get rid of the junk that we don't want. And we can even get some new things to start fresh in our new homes.

What I really love is the idea of giving things away for free when I move. I make big piles of everything that I don't want to take with me to the new house. Then I invite my friends and family members over to come browse through that stuff. They can take anything that they want.

I also get a lot of stuff for free when I move. I don't think that I've ever paid for moving supplies like boxes or moving dollies. I simply ask around and see if anyone can give or lend these to me for the move. Someone always can.

Sure, there are things that I don't like about moving. There are tedious tasks to take care of like making sure that your address gets changed with the post office and getting the utilities turned on. I don't like those tasks much. But I don't mind the process of moving at all. In fact, I think it's kind of fun.
