Thankful for Attics

Attics are the greatest!  If you ever need to store something for a long period of time, put it in the attic and get it out of your living space.  If you don't know for sure if you can get rid of an item or even a bin of nostalgic items, put them in the attic for a year, then revisit.  Often, you'll realize that the stuff has lost some of its emotional value.  One warning:  do keep revisiting the attic and clear out items from time to time.
