Creating Order
You have a mission.
You look at your closet and then in it – really look – and you cannot fight the overwhelming feeling that there is just too much that you have allowed yourself to accumulate. Yes, it is a testament to how much money you have had and spent, of the good life that you are trying to craft for yourself and your family. But why is it making your head ache? You heave a sigh, barely manage to control a cringe, and start – but you do not know how and where to begin. You do not even know what your mission is.
Is it just to put things in order? Once again? Until you carelessly pull out an old shirt and the clumsy movement wreaks havoc to other perfectly laid clothes. And then another bad, harried, hurried day comes and your closet is once again in shambles.
Is it to look for things to be given away? But that dress cannot go. You wore it in one of your anniversary celebrations and he said you looked stunning in it. Cannot give those knee high boots away too, they are just way too expensive. Or that sweater, because it was a gift from your boss (what if he asks about it?). Or that blouse, because it still looks kind of pretty. Or that shirt, because you got it on sale and just have not had the opportunity to wear it. Right?
Stop.
