I cleaned out my bedroom this weekend and ended up with 2 huge boxes of old clothes. Surprisingly, I found it easy to part with my old shirts and dresses. I found it hard to part with my jeans. 
A lot of them no longer fit me, so I have no choice but to give them away.
Selling them or making bags out of my old jeans crossed my mind… but I realized that more people need these clothes than I need a denim bag or extra cash. I mean, extra cash would always be nice, but I know I’d feel guilty thinking that there’s a person out there with no shirt to wear. So I folded the clothes and put them in a box labeled “Toni’s Wear-Them-Well Donations.” I said a bit of a prayer while packing them — a prayer that whoever would receive the clothes would, er, wear them well.
This was a weekend that was good for the soul.
