Just Hanging On

Today I threw away a pair of flip flops that I just loved.  They were a gift from a beloved family, comfortable, stylish...and 11 years old.  As pieces of rubbery plastic began to detach, I just cut off the strips to make them last longer.  Now parts are just hanging on, so it's time to part with them.

Why do we hang onto items that are easily and inexpensively replaced?  Probably because we think we can't find anything we like as well.   Look around today and evaluate some of the things you're hanging onto that aren't usable anymore.  There may be a memory behind an item, but if it's aged
beyond use, please get rid of it.  Also, avoid the danger of replacing a worn item and then KEEPING the old one.  It might be wise to toss the old, then look for the replacement.
