Almost 6 years post auction

It's been almost six years since the auction.
Questions you all may have:

  1. Yes, I did sell or give away everything I was planning to.
  2. No, I didn't re-accumulate items. At least not many.
  3. I try not to use the term "happy" to describe my feelings or to make decisions.Happiness is most often thought of as a fleeting, positive internal state that brings a smile to one's face. I am trying to focus more on Eudaimonia (see Seligman and Greek philosophers, among others) and working on a good life if not a meaningful one.
    So whether or not I am happy I did get rid of things is something I can only really evaluate at the end of my life in context with everything else I have done and experienced.
