My friend, even though you said, "I am practicing under-thinking and freedom and play," you still managed to connect the dots and find an application/lesson via blue shorts and a trip to the Goodwill.

Which is why I will continue to read everything you write....

((your post reminds me of something L.L. Barkat-Tweetspeak Poetry-coined about a "Divine Librarian" in charge of all the books/essays/poetry we read. Somehow God echoes His points to us via what we think are the random words that come our way. If we're listening, we'll hear the message.))

The story of the shorts could be my story, except it was my husband’s light jacket (also royal blue)! The collar and cuffs were faded, and it was long out of style. I got to the point were I would say, as we were about to head out the door somewhere, “I’m not getting in the car if you’re wearing that jacket!!” 😂 Also sent a pic to the kids as I finally carted it off to Goodwill. Fun memories. 😂

I smiled all through your white garbage bags story, Tresta. The groceries, the car, his shop, the shorts, the girls' response.
