It truly is amazing how important storage is in life. The time and space that we put into keeping track of our stuff is really quite ridiculous and exhausting...especially once you add kids to the equation. I remember when I returned from Africa (over a decade ago), and how I was ready to relocate with only the clothes on my back, for the simplicity of their lifestyle seemed so much more wholesome and meaningful.
Of course the culture shock eventually wore off and I once again became comfortable and consumed in our American ways. Yet, I still feel obligated to confess how shallow I felt this past week while I moved our stuff into our new closet, and wrestled with the feeling that my wardrobe is not worthy of it's new surroundings. Oh well! I'm sure I'll find a way to remedy that problem another day.
As for now, cheers to storage and new places to stash more stuff!!
oooohhhhhhh!!!! It's so pretty!!
