Removing Possessions

 Some people might be shocked to know how quickly I removed MH's personal possessions from the house.  My first thought was that it won't get any easier if I wait. My second thought was that I cannot create a new life for myself if I'm holding onto things that no longer serve a purpose, other than to remind me that MH is gone.  I don't need reminding. 

I used to joke with MH that if he goes first, the hearse won't be out of the driveway before I start pitching his shoes.  He used up all the space on multiple shoe racks, and I was still tripping over shoes that were left in the walking path.  He had so many shoes that people would joke about them.  And it isn't like he was a snappy dresser or anything.  Most of the shoes were old running shoes, sandals, and comfortable shoes from Costco that were a good deal.

The good thing about getting this task done right away was that it needed to be done eventually; it kept me busy, and at the end of the day, I was tired enough to sleep well.
