Trying to De-Clutter

I have spent the last few weeks trying to clear some space. I have been in closets and files, trying to get rid of the all the excess. I've given bags and boxes of things away. But, there is still so much stuff filling the house.

Paper is another problem. All day today and yesterday, I have been sorting, tossing and filing. The piles are smaller, and I can see the bottom of more tables and flat surfaces. The plan is to have it cleared before Thanksgiving.

I keep trying to keep the goal in mind, but it does seem somewhat overwhelming at times.

The problem is attachment to material things. Everything seems to bring back a memory of some kind. Many objects were given or owned by someone I loved.

I know this is rather silly, but I have met others who share this affinity. It just feels better to give these things to someone who will give them a good home.

As if they were real! What is it that makes us feel that way?
