what to keep vs. what to toss away.

not a new topic or theme, but came to the surface again.  Looking for BSUR stickers for Carly forces me to rake through all my keepsakes.  Drawings, taxes, mementos, pictures, memories.  It's easy to feel overwhelmed, and just stuff it all back away.  Under the table, in the drawer, locked up in the wooden box.

I've gotten more and more into tossing away.  Ever since my dramatic move from 10th and P to the Hudson.  Still have some, but it's minimal compared.

Took 4 more boxes down from the attic for dad.  And  replaced a wreath for the door for jimmy.  Two sides of the same coin.  Papers, taxes, books, records, silk flowers and dusty wreaths.  So much stuff that is stored and forgotten, and very rarely thought of or used.  Eventually we will have to deal with it. But thats put off until then.
