Realizing I was a hoarder was both a shock and a relief. A shock, because nobody wants to have a mental disorder. A relief, because my situation finally had a name. I found people who could relate. Knowing the problem helps solving it. I can step aside and look at the situation from a more neutral point of view. Why am I blogging about it? 2 reasons. 1. Putting my thoughts into words helps me think more clearly. 2. If this helps just one, who is like me, see the light it was more than worth it!

2 BOXES GONE
Believe it or not. I got rid of 2 boxes of books. Admitely one the 2 smallest ones, but they are gone, none the less. And no, not from offering them online. Nobody called. But I picked up a tiny cardboard box an aquaintnace lost in the parking lot and he told me he needed it to start the fire. I jokingly said that if he really needed paper to start the fire I could offer him 6 boxes of books. He wasinterested, said his wife had use for old books. no matter what. I ran to my car to show him and yes, he took 2 boxes of books. Even if it only was about 20 % of what I still have to deal with it's 20 % less. And I didn't even have to throw them away. I just hope he didn't get in trouble with his wife! ;)
