Jenny, it's always hard to go back through things that belonged to a loved one. You are brave to move forward. We are so glad to have you as our pen pal.

I couldnt get rid of my postcards but I do try to be more proactive now.Ausjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-20238006656066024362013-01-25T19:11:33.591-08:002013-01-25T19:11:33.591-08:00Congratulations on the move! ~ Wow, I'm so gla...Congratulations on the move! ~ Wow, I'm so glad to read about fellow pack-rats....and I'd thought I was one because I taught school for so many years, LOL (always thought my little students could use various items for crafts). ~ One of my Winter projects is to de-clutter--of course, that's my project EVERY season *sigh*.

I still have bed jacket that belonged to my mother and I finally let go of my daddy's old bathrobe that had to be forty years old or older. But it kept his memory close. The weird thing--I found poems I'd written in high school that mirrored things happening in my life today. Did I never grow up or what???Lenorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201614257423264316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-77576540421758748652013-01-25T12:17:51.256-08:002013-01-25T12:17:51.256-08:00Oh dear, your post reminded me of all the "st...Oh dear, your post reminded me of all the "stuff" I keep saying I'll go through but never seem to get around to doing.

I had to go through stuff every time I moved. If it weren't for the moves, I'm afraid my house might be a candidate for "Hoarders." Since my husband is a "thrower" and I'm a "keeper" we even each other out. When we moved from Chicago to Florida, I finally threw out the first manuscript that I submitted to a publisher. It was bad, and I have no idea why I kept it all those years.

I keep things I know I should have somewhere but know it would take weeks to find. I have books I can’t find so I go out and buy a second copy. (I have this wonderful computer data base of the thousands of books I own but it is useless because it doesn’t tell me where they are!) <br /><br />My only consolation is that my wife is much worse than I am. I just tell her to put stuff in boxes and label them for the estate sale for when we’re gone. And so it goes.<br /><br />VinceVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707773426729777989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-84140454987067462342013-01-25T06:02:09.405-08:002013-01-25T06:02:09.405-08:00Lenora, I would do the same thing.
