No More Hangers

I made a new resolution last year - I am not going to buy anymore clothes hangers.

It might sound strange initially, but the reality is that I have a closet full clothes. Yet I continue to receive new clothes as gifts or occasionally buy them.

The truth is I have more dress shirts and bike jerseys than I really need. Now I am not a fashion king but I do want to look nice.

So I decided that I will not buy anymore hangers. Instead, if I get a new piece of clothing I need to retire something. And that does not mean throwing things away. Instead I give the descent items that could still be worn to the Salvation Army or other charitable groups.

When my church was collecting dress clothes for a homeless shelter for people with job interviews, I gave away some shirts and a suit that no longer fit me.

I have been blessed many ways. So I found another way to share some of my excess to those who have needs.
