How many boxes 😳😱

From my FB feed:

Reflection: do I really need all this “stuff”?  The answer appears to be, no.  Andy and I have been lugging around “yours” “mine” and “ours” stuff for 14 years and 7 moves 😐. Interesting that prior to our decision to move and “clean house” I could not remotely wrap my mind around letting go of it all.  Now, as I am going through box after box I think, “Really?  Why did I keep this?”  Yes, I know that some of it was sentimental at the time.  But as I am rethinking my life and the need to downsize it by a BUNCH, the “keep” pile is now barely filling a small box.  The stuff that belongs to the kids is getting shipped to them.  I’ve talked to my daughter about inheriting a “keel over” box, family mementos she’ll get after I keel over 😁. I cannot tell you how freeing this process is.  Like everything else in life though, it had to be time.  My heart was not ready a month ago.  Now, it’s time.  ❤️
