I believe it was Henry David Thoreau who wrote in Walden Pond, "The more possessions a man accumulates, the more they become a burden to him."

I was kind of a pack rat for a while and then I looked around at my house and realized that I just don't have room for that amount of stuff. I got rid of loads and loads of it and won't buy anything unless I can say for sure where I will be able to store it or what I can wear it with...

Now all I have to do is figure out how to do the same thing with paper.

It's amazing how some people have that special nack to be a pack rat but be very organized about it .......so nobody knows...lol My Mom was that way. We are in the process of going through everything in their house to get it ready to sell and holy cow!!! She kept ALOT of stuff....but was very organized about it. I wish I had her organizational skills.
