Sorting through the Shoes

I used to pride myself on the fact that I didn’t have very many pairs of shoes. While most people I knew had lots of shoes, I managed to live with three or maybe four pairs years. But that’s all changed. Now I have some for the barn, some for work, some for everyday, boots, sandals, and tennis shoes.

The awesome shoe holder that we built by the front door was overflowing with shoes. So I took an hour today and cleaned it out.

We got rid of 15 pairs of shoes! Yay!!

The old pair of shoes…

I wanted to tell a quick story about one of the pairs of shoes. It’s an old pair of all purpose shoes that I wore to work a lot. They looked decent enough that I could wear them whenever so I’ve kept them a long time and used them in a pinch a few times. But as I was sorting through the shoes today, it finally struck me. These shoes don’t make me happy. I’m embarrassed when I wear them because they’re getting so old. The bottom has a big bump in it so they aren’t exactly comfortable either. SO TIME TO GET RID OF THEM!!! They’re finally out in the garbage. If something doesn’t meet those criteria, it’s okay to get rid of it!
