I experienced something similar yesterday as I loaded the boot of my car with items to go to the recycling centre. We moved house in October and much of our belongings ended up in storage, too much. But every time I tried to choose items to get rid of, a memory or a possibility of future requirements held me back. Once I had finally succeeded in prying away some old deckchairs, an ironing board, a rusting lamp and several flowerpots and placed them in the boot of my car, suddenly they lost their glow of sentimentality. They were now just bits and pieces that no longer fitted into our life. Moving them away from the items I cherish helped me to see them in a new, dimmer light. Just 22 more carloads to go 😉

I have noticed that when I return from vacation, everything has changed since the last time I sat at my desk. Now I know why! It's not because anything here has changed, it's because I'm different. Cheers to disrupted pathways! Thanks for the illuminating article, Dr. A.
