Interesting reflections on starting over....the advantages and the worries. I'm glad you kept the photographic and written archives. That's at the heart of where our memories lie and can be stirred, or at least that's my take on it all. We haven't begun this tidying up of our shared past, but your example, if not exactly inspiring because it was so remorseless, at least warns us of the path ahead.
I found this truly inspiring, Sally. A brave move that I’m not sure I could take, so attached am I to *things*.
This is a beautiful essay, Sally.
Thanks, Adrienne.
