This past weekend was a defining moment, I guess, marking the end of one chapter of my life and the beginning of another. Last June when I moved back to Arizona from Connecticut, I didn't know at the time how my life would unfold with a boyfriend in California, a work office in Phoenix, my family in Tucson, and the in-progress application process for medical school. Therefore, the easiest thing to do was throw all my life possessions in a storage unit. Well, here we are almost a year and a half later and those possessions still sat in that storage unit, amounting to more costs than the actual worth of all the things in there. Granted, there were some things I wanted to keep that were personal to me, but it was definitely time to emotionally disconnect myself from them and let them all go! Yes, all of it! In other words, it was time for a Yard Sale.
Thank goodness for my mom who, between the two of us, managed to get most of the boxes out of storage and set up to sell my life away. It turned out to be pretty successful and all the leftover stuff went to a local non-profit organization, Casa de los Ninos. It is nice to have that weight off my shoulders, knowing that if I didn't take care of it now, I wouldn't look at that junk for another 4 to 7 years. And although still in the hole, I am a couple hundred dollars closer to being out of the red. Anyway, here is to new beginnings! Salute!
