These words by Anne Wells should make you sit up and think! "My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister's bureau and lifted out a package. In it was an exquisite silk slip, with the price tag still attached. Jan had brought it the first time she went to New York, about 8 or 9 years ago.
She never worth it; she said she was saving it for a special occasion . Well, I guess this is the occasion"

He put the slip o the bed with the other clothes we were taking- to the funeral home . Suddenly, he slammed the drawer shut, turned to me and said, _ "Dont ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you live is a special occasion!'
Those words changed my life; I'm not saving anything anymore. Now we use our good china and crystal for every special occasion- like losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, or the first camellia blossom "some day" and "one of these days" are losing their grip on my vocabulary.
If it's worth seeing,hearing, or doing, I want to do it now! I'm trying ver hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter or luster to our lve. Every morning When I open my eyes, I tell myself- today is special
Makes you think , doesn't it? Makes you want to drain the last ounce of joy out of every day and break free from the concrete of procrastination that whispers "You can do it later" wise up; forgive that offense! Tell that person you love them! Take that trip! Go back to school! Decide now to do the thing you've putting off . For today is that special day you've been waiting for.
