Purging

Purging is different than simply throwing things away. There are items that need to be removed permanently but it is really hard to let go. It’s a real emotional attachment. Some of these forgotten items have been buried away from my everyday life. Looking and holding these memories again gives me pause because I know I must get rid of them. I go through the ritual with each item, thinking, who will appreciate these items like I do. Well the answer to that question is no one. The memories are mine alone. So the purge continues and when it is over I know I will feel a sense of accomplishment for both downsizing my environment and donating items that are still useful to my favorite charities.
