This weekend the weather has finally cooled in my neck of the woods. It’s the first day in a little over a week without rain, and why I did have an appointment on Saturday afternoon I really had nothing planned. I decided it was a good time to get a start on cleaning and dejunking my home, so that my husband could begin his annual decorating for Halloween.
In this vein I was able to make several bags of garbage, and to sort my dresser and make not one, but three bags of clothing I haven’t worn in forever for the charity coming next week. I also managed to guilt my husband into making two bags of various items from his stash of treasures. When my youngest came home from bowling I attempted to guilt him into sorting and dejunking as well, but thus far little success there, and my oldest is hopeless, but he wasn’t home this weekend to guilt.

Thank you for your post, Sandi.
I've got whole boxes of books accumulated through the years—mostly remainders and books from yard sales, rummage sales, library sales, and second-hand stores. In almost each case I read a few chapters and couldn't get into it. Only about one-tenth are in the box of books I intend to trade or give away.
And I'm loathe to part with those. I keep wondering if someday my tastes will change and I'll want to read them.
I should know better. The best course is to sell or give them away so that readers who want to read them can do so and enjoy them.
