It's hard to let things go; it's good to let things go

Just let a pair of speakers go, and while I really loved them, a local person is going to love them. We enjoyed listening together and I know they'll go to a good home. 

My parents used to say that "A good day is a day you get rid of something." I see the point better, now that I'm older. 

The "loss" part of it is offset by the feeling of lightness at perhaps trying something else without berating myself for "stockpiling."

What's the best thing you ever got rid of? Was it hard to let go of?
