The Sock Apocalypse

Does your sock drawer say something about you?  Recently I noticed that mine was really packed with socks.  Not just pairs but also a few strays.  In further surveying the contents of the drawer, I realized that I hardly wore many of the more weathered socks.

They had lost some elasticity or were wearing very thin near the toes or the heel.  So why did I keep them?  Perhaps they might be pressed into emergency footwear duty.  But most likely they would just crowd an overpacked drawer.  It was obvious that they would best be used as cleaning rags yet for some reason I had washed them.

How many things in life do we continue to do even they don't help us much anymore?  An old sock may be familiar but it really isn't comfortable.  The same can apply to habits or beliefs.  Take a moment to examine your life as you would a sock drawer.  Are you holding on to something merely because it is familiar? Maybe it has outlived its usefulness and it's time to do some spring cleaning...
