Notes -
Not sure if it's a precise fit to the topic, but I have a bit of an obsession with the emotion of gratitude, I think.
Any object made with care or given as a heartfelt gift is sacred, and must be treasured. If it becomes necessary to dispose of it, then some form of ceremony to commemorate it is in order. If it is possible to keep it around, then kept it shall be as a reminder of the positive relations associated with it.
I have boxes full of happy memories, and go through them about once a decade each.
Many of my EDC items and clothes are worn and torn, but for as long as they still fulfill their function I continue to use them because being able to physically take good thoughts with me outweighs the inconvenience of any broken zipper, scratched screen or tattered lining.
Every night before going to bed I stand at the window, look out into the sky and wish well to anyone who ever did me a good turn.
It may all be immaterial to impractical, but it feels very right.
