Oh, I have a "memory drawer"! When my grandfather died I just took all the stuff he ever gave me and put it in there. Now that my grandmother isn't really herself any more due to Alzheimer's I started doing the same with the things that remind me of her. Some other things I really wanted to keep while decluttering even though I didn't have any use for also went there.
Maybe one day I'll be able to part with its contents, but for now I can't even think about it. In the meantime, it's just a drawer's worth of stuff, it can't hurt too much to have it there
You got me curious about the minimalist blogs, I had never heard of them before. First thing tomorrow I have to remember to check some out
