So true, Adir. I've always gotten nostalgic a bit with things. I suppose it's because I'm a visual learner and seeing some household objects can cause me to unlock their memories from my brain. Yet in a very small NYC apartment, it's tough to keep all those objects and remain sane! So now I take pictures of the things I throw out, give away, or re-sell that are tied to a life memory. And on the occasions my screensaver pops up what to many looks like just a random thing, I get to re-live a part of my life!

I love that idea of taking a photo to remember instead of keeping things cluttered. That's a powerful ritual!

This was the first car.I bought myself (well leased and then bought) BB bought me my very first car - probably my 2nd favorite (White Mazda Protege). And I have a lot of memories too and sort of feel sad that I didn't say goodbye!

I forgot about the Protege! I had you in mind when we tearfully parted.

Beautiful, as always! We can all relate to items we have to dispose of, while our heart is feeling the loss of doing so. Like you said, things are not just things, but memories, and hopefully, the memories will last our while life through! L’Shona Tova! ✡️❤️ Zeta
