Starting over from scratch after losing everything might be painful and challenging, but it might also be refreshing.

The sentimental items in your life would be painful.  I am thinking of photos and keepsakes.

The basic necessities of life would be real challenging.  I am thinking of basic tools, furniture, and clothes-- but the good news is that stuff can be replaced.

The refreshing part would be the more discretionary items in my life-- here I could reevaluate my choices in a big way.  There certainly wouldn't be as much clutter in my closets, basement, or garage.

Hey, what if we imagined this happened to us-- could we get rid of some things?  Could we sell some stuff on eBay or in a yard sale, so we would have cash and less clutter.  That is an idea . . .

Another thought . . . maybe it is time to insure some of the important stuff if it isn't already.
