Bro prayin here too!



And as for the prayer someone else offered up about the packratishness.... lawwwwwwdy!!!
Let me tell ya! Between my mother and my grandmother (dads mom) and my moms parents and my home we are having one major garage sale in September... So far I have one entire storage unit and one entire garage full of stuff and havent finished going thru my stuff yet!!!!

The best practice in the world for this is being an ex military family. We got so sick of moving but it was easy to take the junk along.. because they pack it and move it and so its easy. Well we moved the last 2 times without the help of the military and it wasnt so friendly to say the least. So then both of my mothers parents passed away last year and we were left with 99% of their stuff and then my mom passed away 2 months ago approx. and then my dad decided to move us down here to help him take care of a grandmother he moved in his house because of alzheimers... so to say the least it wasnt all gonna fit no where nope not at all!!!! So what did I do... forced everyone to get rid of junk!

Well they got it started then asked me to come finish it! Boy did I have fun NOT!! But I betcha I got that 26 ft and 14 ft uhaul now down to a 17 fter... and still got some room left over... Moving is in no way a fun thing but I have so much more to look forward to now that I dont have to deal with all the junk!!!!!

So think about decluttering your lives it makes you feel wonderful and sometimes we have no clue how much stuff we have until we decide to do this!
