Things I lost in the move

I’m going to South Carolina in three months. I’ll be there for six weeks which is long enough for me to want to take all my favorite stuff, but not long enough for me to need it all there. I often have to travel light or live in closet sized areas with little or no space to keep even my most important necessities. I’ve become kind of a minimalist keeping only things I have an important need of. I do however have a box where I keep a few sentimental items. It contains Christmas cards my kids sent me, a few photos, and old trinkets with sentimental value. Occasionally I’ll get a gift from someone, a knick-knack or a birthday card and I don’t really have anywhere to put it because it has no practical use, so I put it in the box. I can’t throw stuff like that away, it would weigh on my conscience. Unfortunately my box starts getting pretty full after a few years and I really don’t have the space or need for several boxes of sentimental stuff. Luckily, in the military I move about every three year. The military contracted movers take forever and they usually break something and scratch up my furniture, but I still prefer it to moving myself. They are also known to lose a box on occasion. So if you’re every wondering if I have that birthday card you sent me or the foot massager you gave me for Christmas. It was probably in the box that got lost in the move.
