Relative Something

This shirt was less trashed than most

I’m willing to bet that there are an awful lot of people who can relate to the dilemma of trying to get rid of clothes they don’t wear, but keep because of some personal connection. Yesterday, I decided to give away a shirt that I haven’t worn in years, but which I have been keeping because it had my children’s hand prints painted all over it. I had to make that kind of decision ten times over. Cyndie finally came to the rescue with a claim that she was going to make a blanket out of some of the shirts that I couldn’t figure out how to part with. Many of these shirts are custom made. It is a wonderful idea and helped my decision making process immensely.

It also inspired me to dig a little deeper and pull out a bag of shirts I wore back in high school that I had been keeping all these years with a plan to use for some sort of wall hanging. That was a revelation! Many of them were totally trashed. I don’t know what I was thinking in keeping them. But if Cyndie will make me a blanket, then the less trashed of these deserve to be in it.

I completely forgot about this shirt
