Purging Versus Packing

One thing about going through old boxes and files is discovering items one has almost completely forgotten.

That brings up tons of memories, some fun, some sad.

The painted, framed flower made me think of the artist interviewed for a story, long ago, during newspaper reporting days.

 She painted lovely wild flowers and gifted me with some of her paintings which I promptly had framed.

At the time, she was dying from cancer.  Today, I discovered one of the small paintings, many decades later.

Found some seed packets that are more than 18 years old, too.

 Do you think that if planted they could grow?

There's a music book, too, with lots of songs. 

It will be fun to try them out again on my guitar or banjo.

 The little book, shown below, will come in very handy.  

It's been in the bookcase in my office for years but I've never read it. Now , I will.

 Being in the middle of a huge change and transition in moving from a house to an apartment definitely qualifies as a difficult time.

 Extra strength can certainly be used and appreciated.

HOW ARE YOU AT PURGING THINGS AROUND THE HOUSE THAT YOU LOVE?
