Counting on 2026 …. Day 35

4th May

Joy in Enough is about not wanting more and more, or bigger and bigger. 

How many pairs of trainers do I need? How big a television do I need? How far do I need to travel for my holiday? 

If I have too much of everything, will I really be able to enjoy them all? If I choose the biggest thing will it really make me happier than the smaller version?

It is interesting to note that even now that we have separate bins for recycling for the waste we can recycle, why is it that dustbins – for what we can’t recycle – are still  getting larger and larger! How do we manage to produce so much waste each week?
