In preparation for something we were going to write for Thanksgiving, I discussed Wants & Needs with my students this week, which is always an interesting discussion. That along with Trina's post about her piano got me thinking about "things" we love and certainly CAN live without, but would prefer not to. Trina's would be a piano. I had to think long and hard about this because I couldn't decide between books and sewing. But in the end books won out! Over the years I have gotten so much from books. They have been an escape when I'm stressed, tired, or just need a break. They helped me get an education, help me each day in my job, and help me get my credits to keep my teaching license. Many conversations in my life, both professional and social, have centered around books. They have helped me feed my family great food. They gave me advice about raising my children. I have turned to them for medical advice many times. And, I couldn't have learned to sew without my books. Oh, I could have been creative since I don't always use a pattern, but I need that book to keep my machine going! I could go on and on...
What "things" can you not live without?

I agree if I had all major concerns taken care of. Enough to go camping on - food, bedding, toilet ect I would choose books hands down.
