letting go of old habits, as well as objects

My Mom taught me to save buttons. A shirt, with very ordinary buttons, might wear out,
and there she would be, cutting the buttons off and saving them "for later." I picked up
the habit without questioning it, decades ago.

Fast forward to today. I am finding random loose ordinary buttons that I saved, because
of that habit. And now, I'm throwing them away. Why? Because I am now questioning
what I once did, without thinking about it. So I noticed, the vast majority of my clothing
now is pullover, and does not even have buttons on it at all!

So away with those needless buttons - I'm one bit closer to fine, without them!
