I I once did this when Justin put Orange soap in all our clear soap dispensers and can proudly say I left it in there until it was gone. \u00a0This was much more difficult than you might assume.<\/p>\n<p>But today&#8217;s Total Truth Tuesday is not something I intentionally did to expose myself to imperfection, it&#8217;s just something that is weird and completely uncharacteristic. \u00a0Take a look at the following picture of the current state of my mud room\/laundry room. \u00a0Count the three, yes three pairs of snow boots that have remained in this same position since the last time it snowed &#8211; approximately 7 months ago. \u00a0I walk past these boots mutliple times a day and have never picked them up or moved them out of the way. \u00a0There is a swimming bag on the shelf directly above them. \u00a0I have no explanation, folks. \u00a0I have cleaned around them and walked around them for months. \u00a0It&#8217;s just plain weird. \u00a0The good news is we are ready for winter!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seekingthestill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/boots.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-663\" src=\"http:\/\/www.seekingthestill.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/boots.jpg\" alt=\"boots\" width=\"648\" height=\"764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldseekingthestill.com\/website_e02ce2c0\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/boots.jpg 648w, https:\/\/oldseekingthestill.com\/website_e02ce2c0\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/boots-600x707.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Care to share your own random truths? \u00a0Comment here or on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SeekTheStill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>. \u00a0It&#8217;s freeing, people! \u00a0Try it! \u00a0Are you laughing? \u00a0I am laughing!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve heard numerous times lately that a sign of good emotional intelligence is the ability to laugh at oneself. \u00a0This is not something that comes naturally to me, and since the topics of my posts have been on the heavy side, I decided to inject a bit of self deprecation here. \u00a0Thus&#8230;Total Truth Tuesdays are [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":53632,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-anxiety"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
