I can't believe its been almost 9 years since we shed the acres and square footage and moved into our rental condo. We still on occasion open a box which hasn't been opened since the move sort through the ole keepsakes and fill another bag for either Salvation Army or for the refuse collector. I struggle at times shedding old engineering reference material, manuals and the like, but slowly but surely we are evacuating the collections in hope that we don't burden those whose will eventually have to purge our belongings when we are in a state where we don't need them any more.
What I have found along the way, what we have kept for keepsake has no intrinsic value, nor do our children find the items of memorabilia worth keeping, so we ask ourselves why have we held on so long to things which have no value?
Life goes on, but not forever and we are not remembered by the which we collect, but by the love we have shared!
Man I wish spring was here, just another 5 months and we will be back in the water.
