It's amazing, the things we keep.

It's the holidays and I've been gradually going through my paper clutter.

Oh boy!  I don't understand why I've kept some of the stuff that I've come across.

Mainly old bills. Some from 15 years ago, well before uNPD exH left.

It felt good to throw them in the fire and recycling. 

But it was 2 types of good.

First, just that free feeling of getting rid of STUFF.

Second, the fact that I felt nothing when seeing uNPD exH's name and handwriting. No sadness, no anger. If anything I felt a tiny twinge of regret for marrying him. But more, I was able to laugh at the fact I'd kept these bills for so long.

There's more paper to sort.  Way too much more.

Anyway, just ruminating really.

That is my goal too. That is what I want to achieve. Sooner rather than later. Your post is giving me hope. Thanks for that.

I am so glad, AoD! I'm glad it helped you to feel free once you got rid of it.
