Is it possible to really change how I clean my house?

I recently heard a discussion of something that used to be very common: hope chests. It hit me that a hope chest is a container for things for the future, and since a lot of “us” fret about whether we can/should keep things we legitimately may need in the future but don’t need now, I thought it was a good concept to discuss.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! In covering my house, I’ve got several things that describe this. The dress I wore at my son’s wedding last year, I hope to wear again on a cruise, someday in the not too distant future. I’m planning to keep some baby, preschool and early elementary toys and games for the grandchildren that I hope exist in the future. I have a container that will be the limit of what I keep that can go in the attic. Right this minute, those things are in random places that need to be decluttered.
