De-Clutter Moves to the Attic

Today when the great white hunter put the Christmas decorations in the attic, he also brought down lots of boxes we had stored up there.

Our oldest son is disabled from a head injury from a accident in early 90's. He was in the hospital and rehab centers for several years and we boxed up all his things, not knowing what his future held. He now lives in an apt. complex for disabled people, is wheel chair bound and has no use of his right hand or leg. There is mental injury too, so resuming a life we had hoped for never happened. So, time has come to deal with all that stuff! Again, this is more than a physical clean it out, move on thing, it is another mental one. It is a good one also.

So, we are going though all the boxes, a few at a time, together. A lot of it is Navy uniforms as he had just gotten out of the Navy around the time of the accident. Other things are childhood things we saved, then there is just a lot of the normal stuff one collects. Very little is relevant to the life he lives now.

I am so glad to have this stuff out of the attic, we have talked about doing this several times but the temps in the attic most of the year make moving it a miserable job, so our timing is right.

Boy, Goodwill is going to LOVE me!!!

It feels so good to be doing some mental housekeeping as well as regular housekeeping. We are on a roll here.
