Memory Lane Detour

So as I last posted about how I am on the ANTI-Clutter campaign and it starts with me I can be the worst offender. Last night I dug into a box of stuff that I hadn’t touched since we moved last which was 4 years ago. What an amazing find that was some of the stuff was from back in high school. Here’s a partial list:
- A news paper clipping where I was Honorable mention for the year in the High School Basketball
- One of my sports letters from High School
- My collage ID card with me in a full on Afro and Bib Overalls
- My High School and College Diplomas.
- The medals I won ski racing
- An article I had published in a College Text Book
- An article I had published in a magazine – totally forgot about that.
- The note from a friend that came with the Bible she me the day after I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior – didn’t remember it.
- Some pressed lilacs that were sent to my 18 years ago after I had moved to Washington

What a trip. It was fun to share some of that stuff with Kyle for the first time and just to reflect. I have many disappointments, failures and heartaches in my past, but it is the little things like these that I keep stored up that make it all worth living.
