It's casting pearls before swine that grieves me so.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/1197/42392020-02-24T13:15:17ZJanet<p>I agree that getting rid of bunches of stuff is emotionally difficult. I've learned from a friend to hold my things more lightly, so that I am more willing to gift something I have and maybe use some to someone who has expressed a need or an interest. With things always coming and going out of the house, there isn't that same sad feeling during a purge. It also makes me feel better about stuff that I think is good going to trash because I know that many of my things HAVE gone to good homes. Still, keep what matters to you. Even if that means getting more bookshelves. :)</p>
