". . .essential, but not for everyday living. . ."

Frankly, I think you must sit down with all that stuff, scrutinize it ruthlessly and come up with the fortitude to get rid of 99% of it!

Before I came down here, I was very reluctant to get rid of this or that - after all, "it" had been a part of "us" for years and years. But, I finally bit the bullet (note, my wife had passed away nearly five years before this change in my lifestyle) and chucked a lot of stuff. Haven't missed any of it! ;D

Now, that doesn't necessarily mean that I simply took it out to the curb! Several local charities came and took lots away, for which I got a little bit of tax credit. Other stuff was given away without regard to tax credits, but I knew someone else would enjoy.

The hardest stuff to dispose of is, of course, truly personal things. Happily, our daughters and my in-laws took many of those.

Any way, all of us at TOTV look forward to seeing you 'round The Square!
