So yeah. I went into my box of my own personal memories which I have not done in years. Well that is obvious! I would say over half of it I have no idea why I kept it. I am waiting to show my kids a few things but am getting rid of so much. Meanwhile I read my old diaries from about 11 - 14. I think after 14 I wouldn't write things down, haha. Back then I was very excited to earn about $5 a babysitting job but it was not unusual to earn $2-3 and still be happy. Also I seemed to be constantly irritated by my best friend. I was 'in love' with the boy of the week that was for sure, guess I was normal after all.
The oddest thing is I kept some clothing, a few dresses and skirts, they have gone out and back into fashion a few times. I understand the drress that I sewed myself as a dressy nursing style dress, I was very proud of that, but I have no idea why I kept the others?
Now I am going to go through the few photos and be rather brutal.
What is being saved? My first stuffed animal, my first blankie, my Oakland A's baseball cap and catchers mitt, plus a few odds and ends in a bos 1/4th the size of the original. The diaries were fun so maybe I will pull out a few pages, or maybe not.
