I have always been kind of a pack rat, not a hoarder, but if there is a reasonably conceivable future use for something I don't throw it away. I have lots of old car parts, old kids toys, old electronics in the basement and the garage.
We have decided we will likely move soon, so we are organizing and pitching. I have heard some people say they feel relieved or unburdened by such activities, I feel no such joy. Sad about the memories of some of the stuff from when the kids were little, and also the sort of finality.of thinking of all the things that would be used "someday" and surrendering to time and the realization that many of those somedays wont come.
Not nearly as fun as fixing a car, intellectually I know it needs to be done, told the wife it was exhausting, not physically so much as mentally, she was pushing for the purge, but wholeheatedly agreed.
Edit: oh wonderful, a typo in the title, sorry cant edit.
