A Man and His Crocs

How many pairs of crocs does one man really need?

I know, crocs are not the most stylish, but in my opinion you can’t beat the price and comfort. So why not have multiple pairs, right?

Well, having gone through the move overseas to Switzerland one thing is glaringly true, we have too much stuff!!

As we prepared for the move, we had to go through our things and decide what we were going to take. This included the embarrassing amount of our boys toys that my wife Amy and I went through, not to mention clothes, furniture, kitchen utensils, and of course my crocs.

As we packed, Amy and I both thought we were doing great with getting rid of the things we had never used or wore especially within the last year or so.

Then we arrived in Switzerland.

Because most of our stuff was shipped over on a boat, which took about 6 weeks or so, we were living the first month in our new house with rental furniture and a limited amount of clothes.

As a result, we quickly realized that we could live quite comfortably with the things we packed in our suitcases that came with us on the plane, and really didn’t miss anything else.

So when the container of our stuff finally got here, on one hand we were excited at the thought of sleeping in our own bed, on the other we realized quickly that we still owned way too much stuff.

Moving has been a spiritual experience on many levels. One of them being the realization of not necessarily having the stuff that we have, but our attachment to them.

I don’t know if I can part ways with my crocs just yet, but I am working on it.

Does anyone need a pair? Size 12’s?
