What is your most valuable material possession? Why?

I am not a materialistic person. I have made my home is Canada and so far i can move all my possessions in my small car..lol. The only thing i collect and cherish are my notes from school and books. I love my books. The only other thing i have bought for myself is this laptop i am using right now. I carry it with me all the time to get connected to outside world. If anything that i value are the photos of my parents and sisters that i carry i my wallet. It is the most valuble thing to me.

This antique Shakespeare novel I got from a lady that was like a grandmother to me that my mom and I use to take care of. She left it to me in her will, it's from the 1800's and had been in her family a long time. In perfect condition also.

I was holding my mothers wedding ring until one of my nieces was to be engaged so that they can have it if they want it. My sister moved her family to Arizona, and in the heat, her fingers swell up so she can't wear her wedding ring any more. She asked if she could wear mom's rings, so I sent them to her. It was sort of hard to do, but I know that the both of us are only holding it for the girls someday. Other than that, I guess I don't really have anything that I consider valuable. Oh well. Nothing to lose, then, huh? Aloha!

for me it would me my cell jone. cant go through a day without it.

mine is my pc... i really love working on it!!!!

Anything my mother has given me. A beautiful pearl necklace and blue vase with floral designs on it, she got in Europe. I just love it and cherish it.

it's the antique image of the blessed virgin mary (our lady of the miraculous medal) which had been passed on, in the family from generation to generation for more than a century now. it's around 4ft in height and we change her dress every year for her feast day, november 27. my mom said, it's usually given to the best/favorite daughter in the family (i happen to be the only child :)). it's believed to be miraculous, and i heard a lot of stories about her 'gifts'.

What thing could I least do without? Or maybe what would I be most heart-broken to leave behind if my house burnt down and I lost everything? What a difficult question! I am tempted to say 'my computer' but computers are replaceable, so it had better be some of the data on my computer - probably my photos and some archives of Yahoo Messenger sessions. Nearly everything I use or enjoy every day is replaceable. There are some things which remind me of people but I have the memories and that is the most important thing (unless I get Alzheimers). There are just one or two books which are unique - my grandmother's autobiography, written when she was 70, which I am transcribing and two books which my father made for us children of rhymes and poems which we made up and he illustrated. Your question has made me realise that I should put these things into safe-keeping.

y grandma's ring

Most valuable material possession, let me think, offcourse it is my computer I cannot stay without it.

probably my house and a few nick knack i have

I had all the things which are used my both the sons from their chidhood as sweet memories. Now they crossed 20yrs. we are 4 members in the home. For all birthdays, and my marraige day, we won't buy greetings from outside, we will prepare with our own hands. All those greetings of all these 24yrs. are kept in a file. My children will get laugh when they saw their greetings which they prepared in thier childhood. But as a mother, they are unforgettable memories for me.

My Great Grandfather was an artist, and he mentored me when I was a child. I eventually inherited his wooden box of artist tools and supplies, including his charcoal pencils, lead pencils, erasers and some of his paintbrush. Today, when I sketch or paint, I sometimes use one of his pencils or other tools, because I like know that his hands utilized them to produce beautiful works of art, and it makes me feel close to him.

This one is difficult for me to comment on because I really don't value material possessions very highly. But I guess if I must choose something it would have to be my spun glass collection and my computer with all the information that it contains.
