I have so much stuff and who will deal with it when I'm gone??? Not fair to my girls. So I'm getting rid of things I've had for years (like my first ballet costume...that no one would want but me and even I don't care anymore) and getting rid of it. Organizing the things I think my girls might want and starting to shed the burden of so much stuff from my life. It's time to do that. It's sad and a lot of work, but it's time. Bless you and Mr Jenny as you do this.

Purging. My mom still won't throw anything away. A sister and I worked with her all weekend. She was holding on to things and she had to make decisions. It is helpful for her that we were there to go through it.<br /><br />Tip: it helps to have wine. :-)<br />((HUGS))Margaret (Peggy or Peg too)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04247428494327269983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-63844623754600470942013-10-01T06:45:46.396-07:002013-10-01T06:45:46.396-07:00Sobering and thought-provoking, Jenny.

It's something I've been thinking about too, as I chat with my parents about a move west - and then look around here at the piles and piles of STUFF.

What really started these thoughts with me were the estate sales I've been attending.
