Meaningful Things!

This weekend I spent some time organizing the many things I have saved over time. Like many people I seem to have alot of things that I could maybe do without, but it seems hard to let go.

This picture shows to very meaningful things to me. Besides the obvious fake that its a Jeff Gordon Jacket and Picture frame; they are just a small amount of things that my Twin brother Shane had given to me over the years as gifts. The Jacket means the world to me, and although I never wear it, the thought of it hanging in the closet means so much to me. I've been a big Jeff Gordon Fan since as long as I can remember, and my collection of Jeff Gordon things seem never ending. We all seem to collect things that have touched our lives and I really could go on all night to the many other things that I've saved over the years.

People seem to come and go in my life, and although I wish things could be differant I feel touched by so many that have been apart of my life. Although I realize material things do not mean as much anymore since I have a much great outlook on life then I have in the past. I know that many things that I continue to save represent my life and days I've been on this earth.

But I just don't understand why do we keep clothes that we no-longer wear anymore? This is something that I don't understand, with age we seem to gain a little more weight but can't seem to let go of those pair of pants or that shirt from so many years gone by. LOL..............
