Three Year Memories

Tim and I are currently wearing shoes we haven’t worn in a long time. If our feet don’t hurt by the end of the day, we can keep the shoes. Otherwise, Goodwill it is.

We are trying to pare down on the items that are going to make the move to the new condo. I am focusing on clothing right now. I have noticed that things I am ready to get rid of are things that I decided to keep three years ago due to sentimental connections - and now suddenly I am ready to divulge myself of them. I find it strange that three years ago I couldn’t part with it and now I don’t feel any ties to it.

On the other hand, Tim and I were reminising about an old pair of green and white checkered bell bottoms I used to wear sophomore year at Bethel and how I never should have gotten rid of them. I gave them away when I lived in MT in 2002 (exactly three years after my year of wearing them) and now, 2007 I wish I still had them. What have I learned? Nothing. I am still going to get rid of those pieces of clothing that have been cluttering my closet because I don’t want to pack them. Three years from now, maybe I will feel differenly.
