Just wanted <br />to say keep up the great work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-13677912978766181142019-05-06T09:53:01.677-05:002019-05-06T09:53:01.677-05:00I have been sorting through my mom's "col...I have been sorting through my mom's "collections" for the past few years, so I feel your pain. <br />The most important lesson is: "I've completely changed my philosophy on collecting". And maybe going through two houses at once (OMG!) is just what Carl needed to come around, just a little. At the end it's even better then losing 50 pounds, you'll end up lighter then ever, and feeling amazing.chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-25811432459742204582019-04-19T00:30:04.911-05:002019-04-19T00:30:04.911-05:00El Gaucho, thank you for the pep talk, goodness kn...El Gaucho, thank you for the pep talk, goodness knows I can use it. <br />Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-34446623354960079102019-04-17T11:19:16.674-05:002019-04-17T11:19:16.674-05:00Karen - Ugh.

It sounds like you're doing a good job of pacing yourself and sticking with a system. Hopefully you'll be through to the other side soon enough. <br /><br />Having been through this with our move just a few years ago this struggle is still fresh in my mind. Quotes and inspiration from George Carlin should help you get through it!El Gauchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16123486882754116176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-34753428341034787782019-04-17T09:21:36.140-05:002019-04-17T09:21:36.140-05:00africanaussie, thank you!

We got rid of a lot. I've already started accumulating things, but for the most part I think I've kept our new home pretty sparse. Nigel and I sorted a closet over the weekend and it didn't take long. I have to make a run to Goodwill today. I wish you luck on your sorting, and in your early stages of the remodel.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942892890615806086.post-70632067709584999382019-04-15T10:51:33.103-05:002019-04-15T10:51:33.103-05:00outlawgardener, yes, what was I thinking back in t...outlawgardener, yes, what was I thinking back in the day?
