Aha!

I've been reading Bill Chance's Daily Epiphany for a good many years now. Right now he's in the process of getting rid of junk so he won't have to pack and move it.

Our Real Estate agent said something interesting about clutter, about why people don't throw stuff away.
She said, 'People keep things because they are afraid they will lose the memory that goes along with it.'"

Makes sense.

You wouldn't believe the crap we packed and took with us when we moved here. We made an effort to get rid of stuff, but there's still way too much crap around. I all but had to kick and scream and hold my breath to get Ron to let me throw away a bunch of old too-tight T-shirts.
