Excess
Thursday, February 14, 2008 Edit This 3 Comments »
tonight i was hanging up a few of the coats that i wore this week in my hall closet. as i packed them in i counted 15 coats and jackets and thought to myself, how the heck can i ever say i need another coat? (and i've told myself within the past month or so that i still need a green coat, a red coat, and an off white coat) 4 WHAT!?!
i then thought about how i also have A LOT of shoes and boots yet i still need more, like that pair of flat black boots, the brown boots with a heal, the brown pumps, the sneakers for indoor workouts, the sneakers for fashion purposes only, and a cleaner, newer pair of the black merrills that i currently have.
this made me think about all the clothes i have and the many times i stand in the middle of the room saying that I have nothing to wear.
i have this and soo much more yet, i need more.... i'm greedy. i'm not alone, but i have to admit that i am. i'm always wanting more. more purses (i have so many, I am running out of storage space and, I had the nerve to buy one today.) more things for the house, more exercise tapes and gear, more electronics, more more more.......
the simple task of hanging these coats up made me think about all this excess.
i don't know what to say.

3 What's on Your Write Mind?:
Oh my!!!
Sounds alot like me - I mean the me pre-babies (now my baby girls have more shoes and handbags than I do - how sad is that!)
But you know we all have something in our life that's in excess. The great thing is finding out what it is and then working out what to do with that knowledge :)
I think the revelation you had is really half the battle.
i dont even know if its half the battle maybe 1/4 :) the next day I think I purchased a new weekender suitcase and a new lap top bag... sad...
