So much trash!

As I try to pack up all my belongings for the move, I am getting rid of some stuff through donations to Goodwill and the dumpster. Say goodbye to all my old spices (yes, I had one from 2002!) and all the old clothes that do not fit. The hardest thing to toss was a small box containing the old cards, letters, and such from old boyfriends. I have held on to them for years (even decades) but decided that they don't really serve a purpose. Yes, every once in awhile I can look at them and remember that at one time I was loved (or liked a lot) but they also bring the reminder that things didn't work out: someone lied, we grew apart, it wasn't meant to be. As I took the mementos to the dumpster my heart was racing as if I was throwing away money! I tossed them and since the dumpster was smelly and gross I know there is no way I am going back after them! I guess this is final closure on the past as I move forward with my future.
