We just got back from a trip to Charlotte to celebrate with my nephew who earned his Eagle Scout award. Well, it's late Friday evening and we got back on Monday afternoon. It seems like we just got back because I spent four days serving as a substitute teacher in one of our local high schools.
While we were in Charlotte, my father shared some wise words. We were talking about how much stuff we have that we do not need. I won't get the words exactly right, but Daddy said something like this. There is an old adage that whatever space we have in our homes, we fill it up with stuff. Daddy said, "We didn't have an attic or a storage room when we moved here, but now we do, and they're full." (Mama and Daddy have been in their present home for 32 years.)
This week I have been plugging away at removing unneeded clothing from my dresser and closet. I personally own clothing in five different sizes. Instead of making piles of "clothes I want to keep" and "clothes I think I can part with," I am attempting to compose a list of necessary clothing items and give away what I do not need.
