We never realized what an anchor "stuff" was, we felt very free once all of it was gone.<br /><br />Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260822222423395104.post-73650234035201840922014-08-13T20:54:46.635-05:002014-08-13T20:54:46.635-05:00Thinking about you as you go through this, Lynne; ...Thinking about you as you go through this, Lynne; I know it's not been easy to let go of these things that seem like such tangible connections to the loved ones from earlier times. And it's okay to have a "meltdown" over the whole process--grief takes many forms and it's all okay. I know you well enough to know that you will get through it. When I was at the Zen Buddhist monastery years ago, one of the favorite teachings I learned was from Master Dogen, a 12th century Zen Master: "Seven times fall down, eight times get up." Give yourself a big hug and see you on the road!

Feel your pain and I mean pain .....
...Lynne, <br /> Feel your pain and I mean pain .....<br />That is so tough just to read about your trials and downsizing .... I am certain it will make you stronger in the end but getting there that is so tough.... Thinking good thoughts for you and Millie .... <br />That WC quote is worth remembering....

It's been two years since my "big purge," and I haven't regretted a single thing I sold / gave away / threw away. In fact, of the few boxes that I kept, I can't remember half of what is in there! Not a single regret!

BUT the freedom afterwards … was great. <br /><br />Plus your having Suzanne being there for you … ?! that's good stuff ;) I'm looking forward to your and Millie's adventures… if I didn't have my little Charlie and Adelle?… oh, sigh… you know what I'd like ? no? … climb up high ~ put on a flimsy dancer's outfit … flowing and blowing in the wind … just me and the sky and the wind … dancing and singing … maybe a little bird OR an Eagle would join me… ohhhh joy<br /><br />need to say bye to pieCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03663919207326700505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260822222423395104.post-15846743935410522382014-08-12T00:52:00.717-05:002014-08-12T00:52:00.717-05:00New adventures and new faces too for your grandmot...New adventures and new faces too for your grandmother's furniture.

I promise in a year, none of the stuff will matter and you'll ALWAYS have the memories.<br />You'll look back at this event and shake your head in amazement that you got through this. I still do after 14 years, but with NO regrets. Happy trails.<br />BTW, the last time I drove to Colorado around Labor Day it was a steady stream of RVers heading South. I was amazed. I asked them why they were heading out so early and they nformed me that heading south the first week of September was NOT too early!
