Today's Insight

Gifts and sentimental items can become obligations rather than joyful memories.

Key Lesson

Honoring memories doesn't require keeping every physical reminder.

Question for Reflection

What items do you keep out of obligation vs. genuine love or use?

Practical Advice

Take photos of sentimental items before donating them. Keep only pieces that genuinely bring joy when you see them. Create memory boxes for each family member with strict size limits. Focus on preserving the best examples rather than everything.
