Rain tonight, cooler temps, maybe freezing again by next week......I knew old man winter would leave kicking and screaming. Our local shelter had sent word out a few weeks ago that they needed spring clothing.......I thought, I won't be packing my winter things back until maybe mid-April. I know that Easter is early and they probably do need spring clothing early, but it will be a few weeks before I make my donations.
A long time ago I read that if you purchase something new to wear, then you should give away an article of clothing for each one that you buy.........since reading that I try to practice it. It made a great deal of sense, if I buy a new shirt or jeans, why hang on to the old ones? It is so simple in our society to become a major consumer, we are bombarded 24/7 with advertising urging us to buy. It is easy for our wants to make us think they are needs.
Wow, sometimes when I sit down to write this blog, I never know where my fingers will take me.
I thought when I started tonight I would be writing about our ever changing weather, little did I know I would go down the path of consumption. Transformation information surprises me almost every night that I write.
On this hump day, I hope that you all are well and happy, warm and cozy.
Goodnight Sweet dreams

Your idea of donating an old piece of clothing when you buy a new one is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI rarely buy new clothes now as my weight has stayed the same for some time now. When my clothes gets a bit tired looking, I use them to work at the farm. That fixed that problem.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
