So what’s the deal with grey sweaters?
And why seven of them? Well, I have an obsession with grey sweaters. A grey sweater and jeans is my almost-daily uniform. I’m always looking for the perfect grey sweater (merino wool, just the right weight, just the right shade of grey marl).
A while back, I counted up my sweaters. And I had twenty-two of them. Who needs 22 almost-identical grey sweaters? I figured having 22 grey sweaters was just one symptom of my entire life being out of balance. So I made some life changes. And cleaned out my closet.
For me, seven grey sweaters – one for each day of the week – represents balance. Between comfort and simplicity. Between my desire to bury myself in a giant pile of cozy grey wool, and my desire to live out of a rucksack. The number might change, but that’s okay, because balance requires constant adjustment.
I started this website to record the good things in my life, and to share some things I’m working on. Writing about them helps me to remember, and to be grateful. Thanks for reading!
