Purging.

I just cleaned out my closet and oh my goodness it was a mess! I can actually see the carpet now, and I haven't been able to in years.. no seriously. I am the epitome of "pack rat." I bagged up 4 large trash bags of clothes and 3 bags of trash/shoes. 

It's encouraging to see that I am learning to move on and let the past be the past. Funny conclusion to come to after only cleaning out a closet, huh? 

I found so many incredible things that I haven't seen in years. Mostly pictures... childhood pictures. I think those are the best treasures to find when cleaning. I sat down and looked through boxes of photos from when April and I were kids, and it almost brought tears to my eyes. I miss those days.. but like I said, I'm honoring the past, but not living in it anymore.
