This is an awesome post.  I really admire your effort, and you inspired my downsizing.  My wife thanks you, I thank you.  I feel happier with less.  I read a good quote:  
  
"When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes - I already have everything that I really need.'"
