The Pig Has To Go!

We spent the past two weeks moving. How in the world did we accumulate so much stuff?  This was the move that the pig cutting board was finally laid to rest.  He left the house in a bag of garbage.   

We had received the pig cutting board for a wedding gift 30 years ago!  Each time we moved in the past I have debated, do I throw it out or keep it?  Although it rarely gets used and takes up room in the cupboard, I just never had the heart to pitch it.  I still remember unwrapping it along with our other wedding gifts and not quite knowing how to react.  It would be the most “interesting” gift we received. 

Made me think of other stuff we can carry around in our marriages that should be cleaned out and thrown away.  There are things about ourselves or our spouse we don’t like and rather then deal with them, we keep hauling them with us throughout our life.  When we finally “clean out the cupboard” we make room for something new, hopefully something better.  How about those grudges, resentment, buried hurts, maybe it’s time to pack ‘em up with the pig and set them on the curb!  Just a thought.
