National Old Stuff Day

"To be willing is only half the task" (Armenian proverb). I've always been embracing old stuff since back in the day. They could be anything: books, hats, magazines, newspapers, toys, clothes, shoes, etc. I cannot explain when it began nor can I imagine if it's going to stop.

I was pleasantly surprised when I found out about this celebratory day: all about encouraging us to declutter, repurpose, or appreciate vintage treasures. It is a reminder to let go those unnecessary items and embrace fresh perspectives of one's life. Recycling, donating, or upcycling are also ways of celebrating this day.

But how can I let go of my old stuff? My garage is half-full of old stuff that just won't go away. Am I a hoarder of stuff, old and new?
