Aloha Garbo,

Please excuse the delay in the response here....

Hmmm, countdown must be about 4.5 weeks now. I'd highly suggest that you take a real GOOD look at what you are holding onto & ask yourself "do I NEED it or WANT it ??" If it is something you don't need -- do you know someone else that really can use it? Can you think of a non-profit agency that REALLY needs the item donated? Just remember, the longer you hold onto the item ...the longer someone else may be going without.

Also think of how easy your move can be if you "shed some of the weight" of schleping unneccessary items w/you. Think of the packing time involved, as well as the physical carrying of items not used -- or worse yet -- you would be paying someone else to move things that are of no further value to you.

I believe that you will feel emotionally & physically better by lightening the load prior to the move. Avoid tricking your mind into saying: I'll deal w/it someday after I get re-settled" ...because often the task is so overwhelming by then ...*someday* never comes :)

What types of items are you holding onto if you don't mind me asking??? Maybe we can assist you in making a decision .....

Much Aloha,
