Losing “Old Friends”

Developing a good attitude toward possessions is key to living the way we do. However, some things we own leave me feeling their loss when they go.

On Saturday we hiked out to go to town for some errands. It promised to be a warm, sunny day, so instead of wearing a jacket and hat, I stuck the hat in the jacket pocket, and draped the jacket over the top of my pack. As we started up the trail, Michelle noticed the jacket and almost warned me that it might fall off. I stepped aside and let her lead the way. That’s the last either of us have seen of the jacket.
