“Of course, in every garage sale there are those items that no one can find a need or desire for.”

That would be me. While I enjoyed this article immensely, that bit made me sad. Once upon a time I used to call myself an unclaimed treasure, (as at 40 I’ve never been married, let alone had anyone even take me seriously as a potential marriage partner), but now I’m finally starting to realize that there are some treasures in this world that are mothballed for a reason, the reason being that nobody ever wanted to claim them and fix them up. Sometimes I truly believe it’s wiser not to try at all than to keep getting washed up on the shores of Singles Harbor, alone yet again, and my heart that much more battered and weatherbeaten for each passing storm.
