[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 108038, member: 2211"] {{Linda}} I think wading through all that stuff and cleaning out and throwing out is the best way to move forward in every aspect of our lives. I love when I clean out a closet, drag stuff to Goodwill and have new "open" spaced in my house. During our recent ongoing renovation H pulled all the crud that was up in the attic, such as old dollhouses of the girls, the American dolls, and something like 5 hefty bags filled with stuffed animals. Even I had a hard time throwing those out - my mom had made so many of them. I only kept the really really special ones. And lastly, my grandfather's desk. It can't even stand on its own anymore, needs to have some repair work done on the legs and be stripped and revarnished. I cannot part with it and H keeps asking me to just get rid of it. I don't think he has one sentimental bone in his body sometimes! Anyway, I went through old clothes of the girls, mine and H's, old coats and jackets that had only been worn once, all the stuffed animals, gadgets and stupid things we've collected over the years and got rid of them all. My head felt clearer and my heart seemed lighter. It's kind of like a Feng Shui clearing of the space and mind, isn't it? Like others have said, your mom will always be with you; on your shoulder, in your heart, in your mind - always. I'm glad that you feel good about clearing your space. [img]:angel:[/img] [/QUOTE]
