Ah, but to get to the point where you are donating things, you have to steel your resolve to get things to one of three piles; the first, stuff to recycle or donate; the second, stuff to toss; and, third, stuff to pay the moving van to go to Florida. Then, you have to have the fortitude to restrict everything to one of those piles. There is no fourth pile called indecision. This is hard, very hard and we failed the first few times by having the fourth pile. Finally, we got to the three piles but we still moved too much stuff down here. It is a struggle but it can be done.
