I’m constantly putting things on the garden wall free for the taking–but there’s always more for the wall. And more! And more!

Since we are stopped in Deale, I have been sorting and going thru (to the way back of) lockers and trying to learn to live without the things I never use anyway! Just paid good money to send things to Calif to put in storage…am I crazy??

Even birthday cards get only one day of viewing no matter how close the sender. I condensed several photo albums into one ziplock sandwich bag. It’s a tough practice to develop but you’ll feel better. (I did keep your calendar though – but it will be gone January 1, 2015).

Its a mindset – and a trap to have all these mementos.
its best to springclean your mind before you start on the trivial shit we keep….
And the above from a MAJOR RATPACKER AND DUMPSTERDIVER :( There , I feel better now :)

You have an interesting puzzle there. I understand and I wish I had a better answer. I have lived a life lately that leads to the loss of possessions, but I still carry the same amount of memories.
