7. Declutter Box of Framed Pictures in Basement

There were maybe 8 framed pictures in this box, little ones mostly... and I got rid of 3 of them. Which is pretty good I figure. A couple are going to a friend of mine, if he wants them. One is going to Value Village. And I'm keeping the rest for now... we'll see... Maybe I'll keep the photographs and ditch the old IKEA clip frame... We'll see. But there we go, another box gone, or at least a half box.

I'm not sure why I hang onto all these things for so long but... I do. And now is a great chance to let go of things. The other day, I read about a condo complex that had a sewer back-up. Twenty units had up to 50 cm of sewage water in their basements. Now, that's a forced declutter!! Far better to let go of things voluntarily... and then I don't need so much space to store things... and there's less to worry about!

Things do create worry... and concern... we have to care for our things and insure them and protect them. But for what? Especially the things that we don't use or love anymore... like these photographs. Good question...
