everyday is a journey.
Be quiet, soul:
Why shouldst thou care and sadness borrow,
Why sit in nameless fear and sorrow,
The livelong day?
God will mark out thy path to-morrow
In His best way.
ANON
Cleaning out some old files on my computer, I found a whole bunch of stories I've never posted. The one below is a lighthearted one before my lifestyle of simple living. I remember this day so clearly, I had so much stuff that I never wore anymore. Why do we hold onto things that are no longer needed or viable in our lives? Letting go is hard, isn't it? I hope you enjoy the following post. Needless to say, when I came back home, it sure wasn't fun cleaning up that mess.
It all began with a Bridal Shower. I rummaged and rummaged through my wardrobe looking for something appropriate to wear. Or at least, something that would actually fit. The closet, at first glance, appeared to be overflowing with clothes in various prints, textures and colors, but majority of the clothes were either too small or too big. Mostly too small.
Not only were there clothes hanging, but there were boxes, and large bins stacked as high as they possibly could be, on the floor and on the above shelf. Shoes, belts and handbags all tethering ready for the huge collapse that was surely to come.
You really have to be careful when you open that closet.
You know what happens when you start taking things out and trying them on. A pile forms on the bed, right along with the jewelry case, an assortment of shoes and purses. We're dressed, we're ready to go and leave that big mess for "later".
Well, later comes and we are tired, wanting to just go to sleep. So what do we do? We pile all that stuff into another pile inside the closet and shut the door. We will deal with that later. The only problem is that later happens much later.
So I'm staring at this huge mess inside my closet, not knowing where to start. Well, better get to it.
Have a blessed day everyone.
