Sorting through the past
Today I set myself up for cleaning out my dresser drawers and throwing things away if I hadn't used them in a year.
I did throw some things away but not all. It was a little unsettling looking through my past stroke stuff. acceptance of resignation, teaching certificate, my husband's list of my visitors, old PT/OT exercise hand-outs, my old splints and therabands.
I have a drawer designated for dead(no longer needed) splints/therabands. What if I slip back and need them again for a reason? I just can't toss them yet, but hopefully in another year or so I will be able to toss them. I came across some of my first handwriting with my non-dominant hand, and my gosh it sure has improved. I still am not happy with my penmanship, but at least the postal service can now read it. You don't know how many times my letters found their way back home for 'can't read your handwriting'
For some reason, going through all that has me all sad. Get over it Amy...
I did find an address I have been looking for of an old co-worker that moved to Scotland. I am happy about that, we have been out-of-touch for almost 3 years! Now maybe I can mail her letter off.
Today I am just going to concentrate on The Master bedroom , and hopefully by the end of the week, our little house will shed some clutter weight. I've gotta go put on my purple tennis shoes and tu-tu.
