Allen still burning and pitching in shed
You must love him!! Give him an Atta Boy for us!
So I sorted out the photos from my sentimental pile. I have 3 big bins worth. Hmm. That's not all of them. There are other boxes. Perhaps in the attic. I think there are two more bins -- so a total of 5. But you know what? I sorted those out and binned them to become their own project and then went through and resorted the sentimental pile.
This amazing thing happened:
I pulled out what was "hard core" sentimental to me and not going anywhere and there were actually very few items. The rest were things that were either decor items or items I have some sort of guilt about not keeping. It is a pile about the size of maybe a side by side washer/dryer, I guess.
Then another amazing thing happened. Once it was sorted out, the heavens opened, angels were singing and I spotted some decor items that could be actually matched together. I created THREE decor groupings from items I've had for YEARS that I just have not been able to really SEE before. Just couldn't figure out how to use them. Once all the clutter was gone they just hit me. I'm sooooo happy that I have a purpose for some of these items. They are items from my travels and give me fond memories.
Still circling the pile and pondering it. Kinda like you do in wrestling.
