I’m cleaning out my den bookshelves and video cabinet prior to getting new carpeting. I’m weeding out some things but even the videocasettes I’m finding hard to chuck because I still have a functioning video player.

I find, particularly with clothes, books and video, it is very hard for me to get rid of things I’ll probably never use again. Often the things I have still “spark joy.” Things that don’t are easier to rid myself of.

I am not a hoarder but think I could be more ruthless. You?
