This table definitely deserves to go into a mystery novel. It’s a character in and of itself.

Pradeepa, I am so glad, too! The attachment to it was stronger than I thought. It now proudly sits in my bedroom corner.

Norah, I have found that one of the privileges of being a woman is her right to change her mind and change it I did! We found an additional surprise puzzle piece when we went to lift it into the back of our SUV. The desk magically slid apart and separated into two lighter pieces, which made it not the heavy piece it was originally thought to be! What a surprise! Another puzzle piece discovered!

I know what you mean about the sentimental attachment wearing thin the further into a move you get. 🙂 When I read that you’d decided to leave the puzzle desk for someone else to discover its wonderful secrets, I was thinking you are so much more enlightened than me. Then, when I read you went back for a last look and reconsidered, I cheered! Yes!!!

There were couple of things couldn’t leave behind, first thought lets donate but couldn’t as your “Puzzle desk”. It is amazing to see how much we attached. I am so glad you kept “The Puzzle desk”.

Romayne, I’ve learned that getting attached to “stuff” is not necessarily a bad thing. There is some “stuff” that is meant to stay with you, no matter what. Emotional attachments are a “good” thing and shouldn’t be ignored. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and I’m delighted you enjoyed the post.

Each having their own set of circumstances. Each requiring decisions of what to leave behind, what to give away and what to take. Some of the decisions were really difficult to make. We get so attached to so many “things.” There is most likely a story behind almost everything we have. As with your “puzzle desk” there are always the “I cannot leave this behind” that must stay with us no matter where we decide to move to. Enjoyed your latest post and looking forward to your next Samantha journey.

Linda, You’re right, I guess the two of us are not finished we each other yet. There are many more inspirational compartments to discover that have yet to be revealed. I think we both have a possession issue with each other that is mutual. Thank you for writing.

The ‘Puzzle Desk’ has not finished serving its purpose in your life, reason you still possess it!! Happy inspirational writing!

Dorothy, I guess I just wasn’t ready to move on from that desk. It has served me well through many a sleepless night when writing my book. Thank you for sharing your own memories and sentiments.
