Nostalgia Leads the Way

Yes! I am conservationist at heart. I often think about my collection to be curated - my son is very organized and tidy! How to convey the meaning of things to the next generation? This poem does a good job of expressing that wish!

It's different in todays world. Once it's 6 months to a year old, it's time to get rid of it. My kids don't want anything I have that want sell. lol Collections are becoming a thing of the past. I've been giving everything I'm not using away to anyone that has a use for it. Even free doesn't work half the time. Off to the church, goodwill or community discount store. Thanks for sharing our ways my friend. Bill

I continue to feel sorrow for my children when they have to deal with our stuff. My wife is of course convinced they will want all of it.

I certainly believe this is true from my experience, gw. It's awfully hard to throw something away, even if it has worn out its welcome or its usefulness. Good write.
