In a former life I have unloaded everything, (and I mean everything) and started over on at least two occasions. My wife, on the other hand, has never thrown anything away in the twenty five years I've known her.
Wondering where your toolbox is can also occur when it’s been assimilated with all the other junk!
When I was in the Navy, I had a friend who had been forced to do an extra 18 month tour before they would let him retire. Dave owned a house in Idaho, and his wife had a lucrative job there, so he was living as a “geographical bachelor” in San Diego. He once told me that if they gave him 10 minutes to get out the gate and he could retire, he’d be gone!
I said, “But Dave, it would take you longer to get your stuff out of your room than that!”
He said, “I’d just leave it, after all it’s just stuff, I can get more stuff.”
That was an epiphany for me, after all it’s just stuff!
