If you pay attention you know that a while back I threw away my hoodie woobie. It's that piece of clothing that gives you a hug when nobody else does. It's the blankie of adulthood. I guess at this time of great change in my life as I enter a new age I needed to rip another one away. This time it is my favorite green shirt. It is the perfect color, the right weight and the "this one is juuuuusssst right" softness. I have worn it so much it has holes and stains but I sneak it in each chance I can. My job allows for some dirty clothes and there are no rules in sleepyland. But tonight I fried up some onions and I think the splatter marks are too much for even my favorite shirt. It is in that moment I decided it was time to let it go. Then came the feeling of "nooooooo, not yet!". Maybe I can treat the stains? Maybe it's still ok for sleeping? Maybe one more wear?
That's when this new thing helps...because getting rid of something bad for me or releasing something toxic IS a new thing. Because I can't make room for something awesome and new if I can't get rid of the old. There is one hanger left in the closet and I need to be sure I'm happy with what is hanging on it. It pushes me to release the safety and go for the risk. It will go out with the trash and I will begin the quest for the next favorite shirt. But I just got these awesome new earrings that match....well, I guess I'll just have to wear them to the store to match the new one that I get!!!
