Thank you Joan, it may sound like a cliche, but it's so true:
Age is a state of mind.

I've discovered many precious memories, stuff that I'd forgotten about while decluttering.
I started off slowly, but once the bug bit, I've become more and more determined to clear out every cupboard.
We tackled hubby's garage a couple of years ago and threw out a ton, but it's still overfull! That will be his job now, it's way too hectic so I'm not getting involved there again!
