Feelings and stuff are dumb. I find myself hanging onto stuff (yes, still with the stuff) because it has good memories or I was told I had to. Now when I get that gut reaction, I have to look at the item I feel that way about. Half the time, the good thing is a memory from my former marriage. At which point, that attachment I feel toward it dissipates and I can make a rational decision. Case in point: I lost my hand held can opener in the move. I was seriously distraught over that loss, and was burdened by guilt in having to buy another one. Until I realized, it wasnt my can opener. And the reason I felt guilty was because once when I had misplaced it, I was berated for a week until I found it again. I dont give a hoot about that can opener. And if I lose the one I have now, I shall simply replace it. Its just a can opener!
