IN: 2 (PS3 remote, new snowbrush for the car)

OUT 3: books

So often letting go of something involves letting go of an idea of myself as the person who is going to use that something. Like admitting that the houseplants are really dead. And some of the books on gardening and houseplants never, ever get opened. (Which might explain some of the dead houseplants, really). And sometimes acquiring the new things means letting myself have something to make life easier. Like a not worn out snowbrush.

Argh, I know. When I get rid of books, I always try to frame it in my head as letting them go for someone else to enjoy. But it took a bunch of intentional book-giving a couple of years ago to start shifting my comfort level.
