As many of you know, my father died last year. My brother and I sorted through every object in the house, deciding what each of us would keep, what would go to other family members, and what would be sold in the estate sale. Now I have the boxes of carefully selected belongings in my already-full house. I confess that I'm not objective in this area and find myself wishing I had my own organizer. I really see how being too close to something makes it hard to have perspective and make good decisions. This experience leaves me with even more compassion for all of you feeling overwhelmed and/or burdened by physical things, even if they're important to you. You have my sympathy.
