There were two days last week when the temperature dipped into the 60's, so I decided it was time to rearrange things in my closet. I brought out some sweaters, counted how many pairs of boots I own, etc. Then I turned to look at the long line of black, navy and taupe clothing that constitutes my collection of lawyer clothes. A lot of them were dusty, because they've just been hanging there for almost a year now.
I took a closer look. Did I really wear those clothes every day? They looked so uncomfortable, so unforgiving. And a lot of them looked worn out. I started pulling them out and making a discard pile. Fifteen minutes later the pile was enormous.
I've kept my favorites. After all, I expect to be working as a lawyer again within a few months. But if I need to handle a one week federal court trial next month I would need to go shopping first.
So what did I put in the big gap in my closet? I hung up all of my cycling clothes. So now every time I open the closet I think about whether today is a good day to go out on the bike path. That's probably good, no?
