Still, that being said, there are certain items - ones that evoke a particularly fond memory - that I will happily pack up for the next move. I think you are doing the right thing by honoring your feelings about those things you just aren't ready to part with!Mocadeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16151014508656606795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276126907719997967.post-6755741778156019092015-04-10T08:25:17.134-04:002015-04-10T08:25:17.134-04:00Very helpful when we come to the realizations that...Very helpful when we come to the realizations that are right for us personally! <br />Good for you!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723721131329150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276126907719997967.post-46416917724961356152015-04-10T07:56:24.947-04:002015-04-10T07:56:24.947-04:00I've moved so many times over the years - down...I've moved so many times over the years - downsized, upsized, divorce moves, apartments.....I've come to realize that it's only stuff. The memories, the photographs and the feelings won't go away. But that being said....if you have the room for that old Christmas tree, don't get rid of it yet. And when you decide to forgo putting it up, divide the ornaments amongst the girls and let them put them on their own trees - that's what I did with my kids' ornaments. Now they can remember along with me.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063046271695834588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1276126907719997967.post-89552365034171113362015-04-09T16:38:51.162-04:002015-04-09T16:38:51.162-04:00I can relate my friend.
