What is important to you? We do not think about this enough, except maybe when something serious happens, and we are forced to slow down and face reality.
So what is important to you? What do you need, and what is a priority when you have limited time to pack up and leave? I had to evacuate my home because of Hurricane Irene this weekend. Although I love my home, and cherish my personal things and all of our “stuff”, there was only so much I could take with me.
What did I choose? I knew that I needed to keep important papers, jewelry, medicine, and my dog.
We made certain our entire family was safe and lifted all of our photo albums up high, along with electrical cords and computer towers. At that point I stopped to think about everything else. My friends, family and valuables were all I really needed. Everything else is replaceable. I am not saying I would not have been extremely upset to have lost it all, but I can replace it all over time. But the things I chose to take with me, I could not.
Take a moment to think about this, what is important to you? And what would you make sure to take with you if you had to leave home?
