Are you Sentimental ? Some people are, some are not. Been cleaning out things getting ready for a big move. Some things are easy to get rid of something's tug at my heart strings and I just can't let them go. So do you think you're sentimental ?

Oh gosh, yes. I certainly am.

Yes, I am very sentimental. I have a memory box that I kept a lot of my children's essays from grammar school and cards they made me. I love looking at old photo albums too. I also am very sentimental about my jewelry and associate some wonderful memories when it was given to me. Smile

Yes.

Yes.

We just moved in January. As I was packing and going through things, I would sit there and go through stacks of cards, art work, baby clothes, photo albums - so many things. LOL

I can't part with it though. I even saved the piece of paper my husband wrote his phone number on the night we met. LOL

I was when I was younger, but now I find it easier to part with items that meant a lot to me in the past. Guess I'm more about the storage and clutter issues now.

I am very sentimental with items from lost family members. Every room of my house contains something close to my heart from family members that have passed. All beds have quilts from my grandmother, my MIL's antique lamp is in my bedroom, my grandfather's desk is in my dining room, my grandmother's bible is beside my chair, a great aunt's mirror hangs in my living room, and I have collectibles on display in my living room and TV room. I find comfort in seeing all of these special things on a daily basis. I have decluttered my house over the last 2 years to a point I am comfortable with what I have held onto, and what will not be allowed to pile up in the future.

Yes to some extent, but like deepwaterdotter, I have to limit myself. I still have things stored in the attic my Mom was sentimental about. How she knew what to keep without clutter is beyond me. It is enchanting to look thru the items she kept and brings back memories. Sadly I have no children to appreciate any momentos I have.
