It's not as fun as it sounds. Walking through a blizzard of white makes it really hard to breath. It's like breathing underwater or something. Weird. But also amazingly cool and unique, one of those moments that makes you say, wow, why the heck am I leaving this for humidity and temperatures over 100 degrees?
Then you remember that this winter you are living in is going to last another four or five months and it all makes sense.
What to throw away, and what to keep. Do you pack it in a box and never see it again until you are actually settling into the new home, do you put it in your "carry out" for the camper and the road trip? Do you even take it and if not where do you deposit it? Trash, Salvation Army, Ebay, Craigslist, Neighbors, friends?
Moving really makes you consider what is important to you and how important it is. With friends at the top of the list, if you give it away to them, then it is really important. If you give it to SA then not so much. So where on the scale does it lie? And then you feel bad giving away that amazing 'whatever' that was supposed to be treasured or something. It is like one huge guilt trip. Yeesh.
Naw, I'm making it sound worse than it is. By the end of the day you are throwing things at the trash bag saying "I don't care if I never even remember you I just want to be done! Out of my house!!!"
