What a major project to find the right folders to store an accumulation of last year’s receipts, records, etc. You say, just how hard can that be? Well, it was pretty hard. Especially when you’re looking for the plain ones. It seems Office Depot, Staples, Office Max, etc., are promoting the colored folders (color coordinated, guaranteeing easier access to documents). It’s true, colored folders work very well, but so do the durable plain, brown ones.Talking about folders reminds me of people. Its getting hard to find people that possess individuality. They’ve become copies of what society believes they should be - also known as, excellence through conformity. In other words, unless they look like movie stars, dress according to the latest fads, live in large homes (with a mortgage to match), and drive luxury vehicles, they haven't arrived. Does that mean the “chubbies” wearing bargain basement specials, living in 1,200 square foot homes, married with kids, a dog and cat (maybe a fish), and driving small cars or SUVs are unacceptable? Are only the colored folders "in" and the plain folders "out?" Come on, let’s get real, and be ourselves. The Creator never wanted us to be “cookie-cutter characters”. He made us as individuals, flawed and imperfect. He only wants us to try our best to please Him.
Well, I’ve made up my mind! I’m going to remain my own person and not become a carbon copy of what society “thinks” I should be. Just put me in a plain, brown manila folder, and file me under "Work In Progress.”
