Years ago I bought an antique ironstone washbasin. I kept it safe until the kids grew up. One day I decided it was time to put it in a place of honor. In less than 24 hours, our new dog chased the cat and knocked it down. I couldn’t look when I heard the crash! I could have enjoyed it all those years.

I can’t believe it.

I just pulled out a pretty blue bowl from the back of my cabinet.  The puppy ran in and knocked it out of my hand. It smashed to pieces. Luckily this bowl came from the Dollar Store, but the lesson was the same. I am reminded of why I am working at using my good things now. I have been wearing my “good” shoes & clothes for no good reason. I’ve been using the “good” dishes and silverware. The food does taste better.  I am not saving myself for the future. I having the good adventures now.

What good stuff are you saving? What healthy choice will you make today? Let me know.
