Reluctance

I am completely reluctant to continue to go through the letters, I am unsure as to why this may be, but I find my self just staring at the piles of memories. I did go through the other two boxes very quickly, and one of them is very much my great gandfathers stuff, it contains letters and envelopes with his writing and his thoughts, they are extremely revealing of his mental state a few years prior to his death. But it is not this which keeps me from finishing the task. I think that the task seems overwhelming, even though I tell myself that all I have signed up for is to take care of the pictures. I am now laughing at myself as I write this, because I am asking myself would I rather get the laundry done, sometimes you can get stuff done if you do it instead of something you dislike even more, and I am completely immobile because they are both equal in enormity and dislike.

Some of my new finds

• Pictures of my mom's dad's dad. I only know stories of this man, he was a hard man, but the pictures of him are very appealing. He is very tall and thin and seems engaged with his grandchildren, I find myself liking him on site, and wishing I had met him, and could remember him
• Pictures of my grandmother in her early twenties. She looks like she is a lot of fun, and she looks like she is in some ad. (She is second from the right in both of the attached pictures)
• Postcard from my Celia's dad to her mom, there is no writing on them, just the postcards.
