I purchased 3 brand new clothing items today. Jesse and I went to the Lighthouse place outlet mall in Michigan City as a part of our mini vacation. We spent a few hours walking and looking and walking and looking. It’s strange to me how much both of us have changed, grown up, matured.
As we went through each store and saw shiny new items, items that would be really nice to have but that we do not need, we ooed and awed and picked things up and talked of how nice this or that was but apart from 4 items that will genuinely benefit our lives we didn’t purchase the glorious odds and end. We didn’t buy a new watch even though it’d be wonderful if Jesse had one while he was at work. We didn’t buy any sunglasses even though Jesse tried on 20 pairs. We didn’t buy any new shoes (They have a crocs outlet there). Jesse’s shoes are falling apart but there wasn’t anything GREAT. I’ve resolved to not purchase any new shoes this year. We only bought a few articles of clothing and the many many others we just walked away from.
In years past we would have had our plastic money and we would have enjoyed a euphoric shopping spree. We both would definitely have found some shoes we didn’t need but acquired anyhow. There’d have been bags of new clothing in the back seat of our car. Several gift items would have been purchased for our nieces and nephews. We spent several hours shopping today, we enjoyed ourselves and had good time, and we hardly even spent any money. This is progress.
