Minimal Simple

benefit #3 – finding an umbrella

i judge track and field at the local high school here in vermont.  this morning is the biggest meet of the year and i woke up to a steady rain.  because track and field doesn’t stop for the rain, i thought it would be a good idea to bring an umbrella.  that was until i started rummaging through our basement closet trying to find it…

now granted - the closet is a mess right now because it has not been refitted for the spring.  it is a big hodge-podge mix of winter clothes for four and spring clothes for four (snow boots, rain boots, gloves, scarves, snow pants, rain coats, etc.) all in one small closet.  needless to say, finding an umbrella was easier said than done.  at the end of the search all i could find was a blue umbrella with a big logo of a woman on it.  so unfortunately, i am off to judge the largest track and field meet of the year with a girl’s umbrella.  hopefully, becoming minimalist will come quickly…
