I do agree with being overwhelmed. Memories can be overwhelming sometimes and paralyze our moving forward in life.

Reflecting now on when we moved after my husband retired.
I remember asking my adult children if they wanted anything get it. They messed around in the pile picked out a few things saying they will get it later.

Later came and the first year when we did our first post retirement road trip to see them bringing a few boxes of their things.

You know what they said, “Mommy we don’t need it as we are working on keeping things to a minimum.” Though my Beautiful Husband rejected my wishes at first I had him haul the boxes back home because I was unable to let THEIR STUFF go. God bless my husband for putting up with my stupidity.

Looking back on that experience I realize that what was a treasure trove to me was just trash to them. I am now realizing I wanted them to treasure my memories when they are making their own memories to treasure.

So, good bye former children things that I made my treasures, its time for you to make someone else happy.

Another mental chain link broken! So, healing ❤️‍🩹

Yay, mental liberation is awesome. Thank you for sharing and liking my comment. Your response caused a reflective moment playing a part in my recovery from things mentally, physically, and relationally.

You rock and my husband and I are toasting to your happiness today.🍻
