There are a few things I have been unable to let go of however and I, like you, keep asking myself why. <BR/><BR/>For example, about 15 years ago I started collecting shot glasses. Everytime I would go somewhere new that was the trinket of choice I came home with (please note I rarely drink & when I do it is usually beer or wine; shots went out of style for me in 1998). Well it got out of control when EVERYONE started giving them to me when <I>they</I> went places too and now I have a million (alright, probably over 200). They have not been on display for well over 8 years yet I keep toting them around. I sat & stared at the taped shut boxes the other day & finally figured out why. The very first one was from an old roomie. She was kind of psycho & stole some things from me on her way out but left behind this shot glass from Pennsylvania. I decided to keep it & use it as some kind of vehicle to make myself feel better about being stupid for who I trusted at age 19. Will hoarding over 200 dust collecters really make me trust more? Well you know the answer to that so suffice to say I will also be paring down to one shelf worth of ones that have uber meaning to me and the rest will be placed on eBay within the week.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting this and again making me smile at how the universe really sends you the right messages, people and circumstances at just the right time :~D<BR/><BR/>~ JennCSD Faux Finishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947691876538206892noreply@blogger.com
