"Don't save anything for a special
occasion. Being alive is a special
occasion." ~Mary Englebreit
Methinks we all sin on the side of
saving things for a special occasion.
I see some good, sound advice here
and I hope for once that I have the
brains to follow it!!!
My barro set from Mexico over
paper plates?! Now, there's an idea!
Pretty napkins vs those old white
ones meant for picnics. I'm thinking
candles every day rather just at
special times. And bottom line,
there'd be naught wrong with
dressing up now and then. Alas,
I spend my days in black, head
to toe.
Trying to think here . . . where the
hell did this idea of saving things
for later come from?! Maybe it's
just my generation as our parents
experienced WWII and our grands,
WWI. And we went through the
Viet Nam war ourselves!
I actually think our youngers, as
I like to call them, are smarter
about this than we are. Again,
maybe it has something to do with
our war time mentality.
Here's to good New Year thoughts;
get out the crystal and silver, wear
that dress you've been saving, eat
at your adorned table and light those
stunning candles! Do it today! As
our elders have always told us . . .
nobody knows about the morrow
anyway!
Opening a bottle of champagne
I've been saving. I might even
invite the neighbors over and get
a bit festive! Salud!
