Conversations about letting go. Conversations about letting go. Where Have I Been? September 25, 2012. These showed up in a forgotten drawer, in a neglected desk consigned to the basement years ago: a collection of maps, flyers, and brochures from every place I’ve visited (and several I haven’t). And that’s not all. Many more maps are carefully stored in other cabinets, or folders. Or the car. Now, with our smartphones and GPS, will anyone need or want these? I guess I’ll weed through this pile and...

Conversations about letting go. Conversations about letting go. This blog began as an email exchange. And evolving into a writing exercise centered around the process and effort of letting go. Of material possessions. However, the writers hope it may range further: hence, the title. Is one of those English words with so many fascinating meanings and applications. But we also cast off from a dock, cast on and cast off knitting. We. A play. We. For ideas, and we. To fish with. We. And could become a pod.

Conversations about letting go. Conversations about letting go. August 30, 2012. What to do with all this plastic? Pounds of toys that I tried to sort and keep in order for years, as my sons grew up. Little broken parts and pieces kept in the vain hope that they might match up to one another and become whole again. With the rover Sojourner. Since we had lost track of this tiny toy so long ago, its surfacing at this time seemed timely, in a weird way. Unique Collector’s Item! Shipping not included.].

Conversations about letting go. Conversations about letting go. September 12, 2012. In this city of many students, it a huge housing shuffle takes place every year, this time of year. Two of my sons are moving, and I have gotten involved in the process. I want to tell them to be careful what they carry into their new abode, to do-as-I-say-not-as-I’ve-done, and avoid accumulation. Why is it that it seems important to keep this piece in the family? I suppose all those episodes of. My father gave me a Thone...

But I never saw them on her feet. By the time I got to know Evelyn, she was wearing custom-molded orthotic shoes to ease the pain of her bunions and corns. “Soldatskis” was her nickname for these, possibly harking back to her Romania parents’ opinions of Russian military uniforms (they emigrated in 1901).

Every T-shirt Tells a Story | Casting Off
https://sheddingmystuff.wordpress.com/2012/08/31/every-t-shirt-tells-a-story
Conversations about letting go. Conversations about letting go. Every T-shirt Tells a Story. August 31, 2012. Surely I am not the only American of boomer vintage who clings to a pile of imprinted jersey tops. I pulled these out of a bag in the basement closet and thought: a life told in t-shirts. And these are just the ones I put aside, after they became too worn, too dated, or too small to wear. There was some other attachment that I wasn’t ready to relinquish. And I had seen another, T-Shirt Travels.
