After reading this post days ago, I have spent this morning sorting ‘stuff’, including going through my already ‘sorted’ cards, determined to chuck even more away.
Well, I have outed more, but some I have still hung onto- DM’s last Christmas card, in shaky writing, but thanking me and DH for all we did for her, our DD’s Thanksgiving card, sent while working as a rather homesick au pair in the USA when just 19, (now45), the first Mother and Father’s Day cards from our own children back in the 70’s, obviously from our other halves etc. etc.
I shed a few sentimental tears, and put a much reduced pile back in the box, no doubt to be sorted again some other time!
Things you find stressful that other people don't notice.
