Sometimes, things from the past give you a slap upside the head and remind you how far you have come. Sometimes, they make you wish you could make a few changes and sometimes they give you a much needed boost to move forward. Since I can look back unto a past that is much more distant than yours and a future that is winding down, I think the thing to do is to fill today to the max. It’s not long before it’s all gone.
However, I can tell you that your words are a treasure and I don’t believe that you should ever distroy them, as a matter of fact there should be lots more of them.

I thought letting it go referred to the full magazine during code reviews.

A dear? Why thanks. I’ll take it ;)

The post-it thing sounds great. But there’s just no way it’ll happen.

Tossing the bad is the easy part :-) Well… I haven’t done it yet and I know how I get, so we’ll see…

I think all my significant memorabilia can fit into one box, or maybe two. I tend to have fits of purging, getting rid of all the things that don’t seem relevant to me anymore. Sometimes later I might regret having let them go, sometimes not.
First instincts are usually best, at least for me. If it hurts deep down to think of something not being there next week, or next month…. put a dated post-it on it and next time you get the urge, you’ll know when the last time you needed this or that item.
For the record, I toss the bad. Usually I don’t even keep it in the first place.
I’m one of those people.

You really are a dear! Just keep letting your honesty lead you.

As for me, I could use a little more of the hanging onto things, and a little less of the cavalier gypsy mentality. Even now I ponder running away. . .
