Day 57 ~ Keep

In moving my summer clothes out of the closet and replacing them with winter ones, I realized that my lack of space continues to grow. My problem is that I don't like getting rid of things. And I am not just talking about keepsakes. If something looks battered, OK, I can consider giving it to charity, but otherwise... why? My taste hasn't changed a lot and neither has my size. Today I tried on a pair of pants that I bought twenty-two years ago, and they fit me perfectly. But I still found myself in front of the puzzle: finding room for two new purses. In the end, I decided I could let go of some of my two-decade-old purses, despite their great shape. I have found a way to ease into it: giving them to my cleaning ladies. I let them on that I used to like them a lot but I don't use them anymore. I said, "If you don't like them, just pass them on." I find comfort in knowing that they actually keep a lot of the things I give them.
