Why?

WHY did I start this purging project? I really think I was trying to save parts of my life with so many good friends and family members. I was also feeling in control of what is thrown out, what is recycled and what is still saved!  Oh yes, so far I'm a failure with decisions regarding cards and correspondence of family and special friends. I guess I am a special kind of hoarder. I must move to a different project. Perhaps the other file cabinet won't reveal memories and it will be much easier. I know there is stuff there that not only can but WILL go!

I can compare this with having a handful of jelly beans - all colors - and saving the red ones 'til last. Do you do that? 

I did manage to get James' winter scarf off and dried and I also put on his spring scarf of forsythia. The image below is last year's as my golf car isn't back yet to go out on the road to get a picture of him.
