Do you save things, for no apparent reason? I do it all the time and I’m not really sure why.
I packed anything and everything I could possibly want for our anniversary trip, which included four boxes of hot tea and two of hot chocolate. My husband, determined that I have a restful trip, made breakfast and lunch every day. Once he realized that the Tazo Wild Sweet Orange hot tea was my favorite, he quit asking which kind I wanted and made me a cup of it every single day.
Would I have done that—go straight for my favorite every time? Never!
Why?
My husband is out-of-state for his grandmother’s funeral and I’m missing him something awful. I think the kids would agree that I’m a lousy single parent.
Inspired by his example…today I grabbed the Wild Sweet Orange and didn’t give a second thought to my foolish reasons to save it.:-)
Do you have favorite things that you save? Do you know why?
I LOVE that mug – one of my favorite verses.
After I had been out of the house for 5 years, I went home and noticed my mom’s silverware… completely mismatched and in sad shape. She had a full set, brand new, sitting in the china cabinet. It took a bit, but I finally convinced her to USE IT. What good is something if you do not use it? We aren’t guaranteed tomorrow or “some day”.
So nope, I generally don’t save things for special occasions. I use it up and on a regular basis, if at all possible.
I had discovered this recently too! I was like WHAT am I saving it for. (Many different things!) So, I am in the process of USING them up! 🙂
Marsha, you are so right. I think sometimes I save things because I’m afraid I can’t afford a replacement if I use it up. Silly, I know. 🙂
Beautiful mug.
