6:24pm, March 1, 2009

I feel like I have not even made a dent in all of the packing for FL.  It does not look like anything is different.  I through out at least 20 contractor bags of clothes, etc.  It is all the chatkas - I have so many and I like all of them.  I don't want any of them broken either.  I am panic stricken.

 

Also, where are they all going to fit in Florida.  I have no China closets.  I do not know what to do.  I am going to start to pack my very favorites first.  The ones I can visualize a home for.  I don't have the time for a sale.

 

This is the ramifications of being a collector.

 

Ok - this is what I keep saying to myself:

 

Only take my memories with me!

 

Out with the old in with the new!

 

I will have forgotten all about them in a few months.

 

It is only material things, not worth having a heart attack over.

 

Everything can be replaced, but I cannot be replaced.

 

Easy Does It

 

and

 

Keep it Simple!

 

Ok - Now Believe It!

 

Back to sorting, throwing and packing.

 

OY Veys Meir!

 

Luv,

Ree

    moving is rough, can you put them in a consighnment shop? they sell for you and take a cut . look for another collector on ebay and offer them a deal. relax and think of how much less dusting you will have to do... send some to all the neices ... I guess this is all stuff you have already thought of .. or donate to a senior center or a second hand shop that supports battered women and children. at least you know that you are helping someone. I once donated most of my crystal to a church silent auction to send kids to summer camp.
    good luck and I know that you will be successful.
