It helped. <BR/><BR/>Letting go is good. When I sort things for charity shops I try to think that the new owner will find it useful or beautiful in a way that I couldn't. I suppose sentimentally I am thinking "be free to find your real owner now I've looked after you and be in their hearts".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605417514477511121.post-50574226106788338272008-10-23T18:44:00.000-07:002008-10-23T18:44:00.000-07:00I'm a big thrower away-er.

I felt angry at having to leave (they were selling the house) and maybe this helped me let go. I was a big saver and collector and took some pride in this. However, tons and tons of stuff had to be let go of including some mission style furniture that had been my grandparents. It is wonderful stuff but how can you carry it around if you dont know where you will live. That I sold for a goodly amount of money actually. In the end, I feel i still have stuff to get rid of in my storage unit, stuff I thought i'd need in my new home but i have no new home so there it sits and I am paying for its housing. I had to let go too of that image of myself as a saver and someone who understands the preciousness of old things.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.com
