Good move, Kiddo.  It's hard to let go of stuff, but once it's gone, I never miss it and I feel "lighter". 

As for life, truly each little step leads us in a direction, no matter how small the step.  I suppose we need to keep an eye on the direction our feet are pointed, eh?

Good going! We just finished cleaning out the downstairs bedroom (read "storage and computer room") and turning it into a real bedroom for the boys. The girls are both in the upstairs room. I love how every time stuff gets moved around, we get rid of more of it.
