So my helper and I were digging out one of the messy corners in my living room, and we found my Wizard of Oz coffee mug. That mug has had a pretty serious crack in it for over a decade. I stopped drinking out of it when it got cracked. Being woken up by a hot beverage on my lap is not my idea of a nice wake up. Anyway...I kept it on my desk with pens in it for years. It never made it back onto my desk when I moved. And somewhere along the way it got chipped a couple of times. I looked at it nostalgically and realized it was time to throw it out. Just knowing that isn't enough. Usually the "keep it" voice is louder than the "it's time to let it go" voice. Today I listened to the "out it goes" voice and out it went. I did it, I threw it away. I am feeling rather proud of myself, usually I can't do that without being forced into it by someone.
I know to a lot of people this doesn't seem like a big deal, but to me it's a HUGE step!
