Thank You for Things that “May Come in Handy”
We are garbage makers and trash savers.
Some of us save things that we will never use, though we believe they might come in handy later.
Things like;
tiny bottles of hygiene products from hotels
bread bag ties
matches from restaurants
coupons
used gift wrap and ribbon
extra screws from a self-assembled book case
party and wedding favors
rubber bands
grocery and produce bags
small appliance boxes
empty jars and food containers
worn out tee shirts
extra pens that don’t work
magazines and paperbacks we’ve already read
extra hangers
old bills and paperwork
clothes that don’t fit anymore
chipped vases and dishes
expired advertisements
newspaper
previous calendars
Christmas and birthday cards
mismatched sheets and pillow cases
empty wine bottles and corks
used candles
bar coasters
old address books
college text books
scratched sunglasses
expired prescriptions
keys that go to a place we’ve forgotten
broken things we’ll “fix some day”
condiments we never liked
used guitar strings
beads and buttons that go to things we don’t own any more
receipts from things we can’t take back or write off on our taxes
extra paint from when we redid our house seven years ago
parts to things that now belong to the Salvation Army
half of a pair of socks or gloves
old cell phones
Now, we can put all that stuff in some of the grocery bags, wrap it in the gift wrap, and mail it to one of the expired addresses in the old address book…
Or we can call HA Schult and donate to our evolution….
LEA KELLEY SAYING THANK YOU FOR...

Well done! You really captured a comprehensive list of useless junk we can’t seem to let go of.
