It is very satisfying to unpack boxes that have been packed for almost 7 years.Infertile Phoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11033358612204465661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354761566702250657.post-18179156861924402242022-10-20T15:46:20.352-07:002022-10-20T15:46:20.352-07:00I was wondering whether you took photos too!

Four small tubs of keepsakes is progress, especially when you started with a lot more! <br /><br />Now I'm wondering where my old trophies are?? Not that there were a lot of them, but there were a few...! <br /><br />Love Tom Petty. And miss him. :( loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354761566702250657.post-32791140969725651312022-10-08T11:43:07.329-07:002022-10-08T11:43:07.329-07:00Thanks, Jess. <3 Your comment is very much appr...Thanks, Jess. <3 Your comment is very much appreciated. I ended up keeping some stuff. I went from an embarrassing amount of plastic tubs full of keepsakes to just four small tubs. Still a little embarrassing but whatever. My long-term plan is to hire a girl scout or something when I'm old to read my old cards to me.

We are planning to clean out our attic crawlspace (which is actually just an unfinished closet off our master closet, this house is weird in the way there's storage in unfinished spaces but no basement really), and I have tubs of stuff that there is really no reason to keep. Old awards, medals, things like that. My 8th grade orchestra award. All those same types of things where it's like, "what's the point? who will care about this?" Definitely stabby. However, there was something I read at some point, can't remember where, maybe Marie Kondo? It was like, take a picture and then throw it out. That way you have the memory if you want to look back on it, in a way that doesn't take up hardly any space, and you can get rid of the thing. I struggle with this myself, but I think I am getting better at "this needs to be thrown out or donated, it serves me not at all anymore and just takes up space." <br /><br />Sending hugs and hugs and hugs.
