While packing things to put in storage while we prepare to move to a larger home, the most difficult part is storing my books. I remember the stories. I remember bits and pieces of those other parts of my life - some recent, some so, so long ago. Three times my husband reminded me to put them in the storage bins... I selected a few favorites and "hid" them on my dresser. Then he reminded me to put those away, too. I did... except the ten or so now hidden in the basket next to the bed that usually contains the books I am currently reading.
Why is to so hard to put these pieces of paper away?
I'm already thinking about my move in June and packing a few things that I know I won't need to use before then, just to make it easier on myself. I keep thinking that I should pack up the rest of the books on my bookshelf because I'm pretty sure I won't be reading them before then, but I enjoy looking at them and they make my place feel more like home for now still.
ReplyDeleteThere is just something about those old pieces of paper that is so familiar, and special. They do make the place feel more cosy, for sure!
