The above article is so me. I did the exact same thing as the person above and it does feel good to remove clutter. After my sixty year old neighbor fell out of his attic and Hurricane KatrinaI I started thinking about how dificult it would be to go through all the stuff in my attic as I got older (I was 44 then). I went through the attic and then every closet, dresser drawer, cabinet, garage. I had two garage sales (made $1,200.00) and donated 4 truckloads to Goodwill. My husband burnt our 25 year old bank records old bills etc... Needless to say my husband was ecstatic (although he too din't complain). It was hard going through all the stuff but accomplishing something was my goal. I now have new furniture for my home. My daughter was a Senior in high school and she helped me go through her Pre kindergarten thru 12th grade papers I had kept all of them . The show I saw with Terri reminded me of myself and I wanted to comment. Dr Phil you were right it is the feeling of letting go that makes it difficult to discard items. If you hoard things when you see them it makes you remember!
