Shiny new toys

Shiny new toy today second hand item tomorrow

So short has the life cycle of many products become that few can keep up with all the latest "must have items"

And if so few can keep up why bother?

In times of economic duress time to let the fashionistas go

Let them be

Fix on what products are best for you

Do they work?

Do they do what they say they will do?

See through the hype and learn to appreciate what you have

.

Not what you do not have

.

Learn to find pleasure in relationships and nature not things

Things can only get worse over time, that is how they are designed to be

Conversely relationships can getting better and better over time

Strong relationships help you through difficult times

Toys do not add anything over time
