Where Did All This Junk Come From?

Greetings and welcome to today's random thought.

Well, we are really in "move" mode now.  We are eating up what is left in the cabinets (this may be a blog for another day, but when in this mode, you combine things you never would have considered before), packing what we can (stuff we will not need this week), and really trying to assess what we want to take with us and what needs to be given away or hauled off.

It is strange to me that things I thought were so important to me a few weeks ago, I am so eager to put them out at the end of the driveway for the garbage man now.  When it all comes down to it, what is really so valuable to me that I want to throw it on a U-Haul and drive it with me for 900 miles?  Instead of one man's junk being another man's treasure, my treasures are becoming my junk.

For those of you keeping score at home, so far I have filled four boxes with stuff I am moving and hauled the equivalent of five boxes of stuff to the end of the driveway.  Deep down the question seems to be, "Which is worse, wishing I had kept something or wishing I had not?"  Time will only tell if I made the right choices.  I suppose the only sure fire way would be to give everything away to friends and family with the condition that we could take it back whenever we wanted.

But if I had friends moving, I would not take anything from them on those conditions.  So for those of you who know me and have ever liked anything you saw at my house, ask me real nice on Friday and you can probably have it.  Just be warned that I might want it back someday.

Thanks for reading my Random Thoughts.
