Which, for me, meant pretty much giving up all sugar, as I&#8217;m not super into fruit.&#160; This was maybe 15 years ago now. I remember it vividly. I was stressed out about my weight and health. Also, I didn&#8217;t admit till [&#8230;]]]></description>

Then I realized that almost none of the books I had brought me happiness. The ones I had read? On very rare occasions (“Pride and Prejudice”) I would re-read them. The ones [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When some people learn about minimalism, it can seem like a very extreme thing. Or, like you have to be a certain type of person or live a certain type of lifestyle to be considered a minimalist. I don’t think everyone needs to be a minimalist, but I do think that the concept is more [&#8230;]]]></description>

I remember so vividly when some of our Belgian colleagues came to visit for a week, how put together and fashionable they looked every day. Every day was a complete “outfit,” something clearly arranged to be worn together, like jeans and a matching [&#8230;]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve just noticed that when I use it, it&#8217;s because it&#8217;s there and &#8220;should&#8221; be used for something; for example, cutting a hunk of butter to cook with.
