June 01, 2006 - To keep or not to keep...

I am a pack rat.  It's amazing how much stuff I've accumulated over the course of my life: old cards and letters, books, clothing, tech gadgets (many of which no longer work), adapters and cables, manuals (of said products that no longer work), magazines, and other knick-knacks that are now collecting dust. 

It's not always easy to let go of things that have made their way into our homes, and into our hearts.  A lot of old greeting cards carry many memories of wonderful occasions past... many knick-knacks are souvenirs from vacations... dog-eared letters are reminders of loves lost and found (well, the ones I didn't burn on an angry late night anyway)...

So... how does one determine what is kept and what is thrown away?  Simple.  If you love it so much that you can't do without it, keep it.  Period.
