Hi Nero, didn't see your post till after I posted!

I believe we're not powerless, only that we don't have any control over what they do. We can leave at any point in time, our choice. Just knowing that helps me get through sometimes.

I think we are all figuring out our place in this world. Our H's are too - they are taking the wrong road to do it though - I feel like that's why it's even more important for us to stay on our path.

I was thinking about all the stuff you have and trying to organize. It is hard to let things so, there's always that "what if???" Interesting parallel, don't ya think?

For me, it was hard to let stuff go because I hated the thought of it just going in the trash. What a waste.

So now, I look for anyway to get rid of it that's not throwing it away. Are there any churches, schools, boy/girl scout troops that could use your stuff? I like to donate to the vets - my dad served in Vietnam, so it has meaning for me.

I also take things into work and leave them on the lunchroom table with a sign "free to good home". I mean, who needs 10 vanilla scented candles that are years old or unopened stationery that you think is ugly? People join in as well, bringing in lotion, bath stuff, books, etc. Maybe it's just switching junk, but at least it's not thrown out.

Have a good day Nero smile
