We change, we grow, and what we once wanted, we want no longer
That is so true!! I have been married for 26 years and we have been military for 24 of these years...two children, numerous pets and lots of moves later and we have accumulated a lot of "Stuff". A lot of the stuff we bought when we were first married is really not our style anymore so I do not see the need to hang onto things just because they are still good if I do not like to look at it anymore
That goes for furniture, clothes and craft items (I remember the mauve and seafoam calico prints I so loved back in the eighties). I have found that donating, garage sales, ebay and swaps are a good way to purge without feeling guilty. It helps that the Army puts a weight limit on us for all moves...definitely a push to purge!! As someone already said: "If it makes you pout, throw it out"....love that so much that it will be my mantra from now on
