Do you ever save something you don't really want to keep just because you don't want to throw it away?
Every time you open the closet door, you see it hanging out in there and think, man I've gotta toss that thing out.
But you don't.
Then several years go by, and the damm thing is still in your closet..... right?
So you finally decide, that's it - to the trash it goes, but then pause because you remember seeing something creative made from the trash you are about to dispose of.
Maybe you could make something out of it then throw it away in a week or two after it had lived out it's usefulness?
