On letting go of material possessions … but not all of them » Mom’s cedar chest

Mom got this cedar chest as a wedding gift when she married my dad. The top is damaged from sitting under an open window in a rain storm, and the inside smells of soap and perfume because she used it to store inventory from her Avon business.

My mom's heavy old desk, which feels like it's made of concrete and lead. It's been in storage for six years and now has a new home.
After my mom and dad got divorced, Mom traded in her wedding ring for this sapphire and diamond ring. I've worn it since she died 11 years ago.
