About 5 years ago, when I moved from a split level with 30 yrs of "stuff" that I kept moving around - I moved what I knew I needed & left the rest behind. If I didn't need it in the 30 days before I had to give possession of the old house - I decided I didn't really need it. It went! Yeh - the Sr. Cords, wedding dress & everything..... I can no longer produce my 1960 yearbook (that I hadn't looked at in 30 years) There is a time to 'move on and leave the past behind.
That slimming down allowed me to move twice in a week. I brought the stuff I needed from Indiana to Naples, Where I stayed one night, as I packed all the stuff and furniture already in Florida & moved up to Cape Coral. Within 3 days, I was unpacked, and looked like I had been liveing there forever. Now I can concentrate on landscaping and adding on.
Dave's advise for when I am traveling and always worrying I forgot something is "They make more" - that goes for moving too.
