Cleaning out...

I have been going through all of mom's possessions with her letting her decide what to keep, what to throw away and who to give what to after she leaves this existence. She likes the control and I understand since so much of her current situation is out of her control (at least that is what she believes). It is a bit strange to be doing this before she departs, but it is therapeutic for her and I feel like I am accomplishing something instead of just waiting... There is so much stuff she has saved over the years...so many items that represent a special memory. I am not a saver of things. I am not attached to possessions...I love my pretties, don't get me wrong, but I can easily give them to someone else to enjoy when they have served their purpose for me and I no longer use them. I guess I don't feel the "what if I need this" that plagues so many. No more thoughts. Just Be.
