A good friend of mine, age 49, passed away unexpectedly 2 weeks ago. Her husband died of a heart attack 2 years ago. Her son asked me to help with her estate. She had owned her own business. I'm not sure I can describe the house I walked into. She did not have a will. She had not sorted, organized, catalogued, labeled....anything! It took 5 people working 10-12 hours per day for 5 days to even make a dent in her home.
It got me to thinking. I downsized last year from 3700 SF to 1100 SF, but I sure need to downsize again! Why is it we like so much stuff? Why is it hard to part with what we have?
This week, I'm taking a few days to clean and sort, organize and perhaps get rid of stuff. I know we all have things we never use. Time to let go of them.
On the other hand, the moment I let go of something....I will want it or need it. :o)
Then just as a humorous side....is this like holding onto a diabetic spouse?
Sorry, I couldn't resist! LOLOL!!!
