(tangent alert) Betsey's statement about her estate experience rings true with me. I've had to do that a couple of times on a much smaller scale and I also go to estate sales. These experiences have helped me pare down to surrounding myself with what's beautiful and functional.
I also recently really cleared out my closet and have it pared down to about 50 pieces. (not counting shoes) Anybody here familiar with the 30/30 plan? I couldn't go that far, yet, but it certainly simplifies life.
I now recognize that I was a stress shopper, not a hoarder but a binge-r/purger.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
