I remember being a little kid. Standing in my parents kitchen or the basement and wondering how I would ever acquire all the things needed to run a household. 

Today I stand in our garage and I look all the crap we accumulated over the years and I wonder where the hell it all came from.

My aunt and uncle recently moved from their house of 30+ years to a one bedroom apartment to be closer to their grandkids and all that.  Watching them get rid of crap inspired me to do the same.  I got thru one phase.  I'm only 51 but its a great thing to do for your kids because having gone through it with cousins and aunts and uncles.... my mom lives in a flood area and has gone through several catastrophic events that helped clean things out but still....

My next step is my tools.  I'm not Mr. Handy at all but over 28 years of being on my own I've accumulated so much from my own and from uncles and my dad.  I'm getting rid of it and buying new stuff, just what I need.  I don't need 3 circular saws which I have now.  Don't need a grinder.  Don't need 3 weed trimmers.  Don't need a half dozen socket sets, all of which are missing something.

It's amazing how stuff accumulates. We did a major purge in the Spring in time for the neighborhood yard sale. Looking around the garage lately and there's still a ton that needs to go. Especially a ton of sheet music that's doubtful. We'll ever use (I'll keep a few "fake books"). I may have to start researching local schools or groups who could use them.
