A few days late i've decided to pick up a lenten practice. As part of my lenten practice I'm reading a book called "simplifying the soul". Each day there is a small practice to do i.e.: clean a filthy corner of your house, or clean out a junk drawer. I'm on day 3 which is give something of value away. The idea is to give away something that I no longer use, but is taking up space because of it's sentimental value.
"Today I am giving away my first snow board and bindings (but not boots). It's an entry level board approx size 165cm. great for persons btw 5'8 ish to 6'2 ish. It's nothing amazing but is perfectly capable of taking you on some great runs. I am giving this away because I am emotionally tied to it. it's old and i haven't used it since 2007. Since then it has sat in storage with every intention of hanging on to it, but no intention of ever using it again. Today it can be yours, I don't care what you do with it, ride it, use it as a decoration or as part of a project. I am detaching from it and it is no longer mine. call, text, or Facebook me if you are in the Denver area and want to come by and pick it up tonight."
To be honest, I will miss it for a day, but all it's done is take up space and clutter up our storage unit. What's really the point in keeping it? I always thought I'd hang this snowboard with stickers of all the places I've been and the things I like above my fireplace, but now, 7 years later, that's where I plan to hang a picture of my family and kids.
