Use something today.
Today is a random Tuesday in November. It’s not a holiday, and it’s not the weekend when you might do something special. But since every day is special, I want you to use something today.
What should you use? Serve a meal on the crystal you keep in the cabinet and only pull out once or twice a year. Burn the candle you’ve had for ten years and is getting dusty. Wear the shirt you feel is too nice for every day. Eat that food you’re saving for company.
I have a candle that has been a Thanksgiving decoration for probably ten years. It’s round, squat and pretty, but this year I removed it from my display, set it on my desk, and lit it. It has been intriguing to watch it burn as I write each day. I’m getting a lot more enjoyment out of it now than when it just sat on the shelf.
We all have stuff that is nice so we tuck it in a drawer to be used on a special day. Today is that day. It’s Tuesday! Don’t wait to use stuff that makes you happy. If you use it today, you can use it tomorrow; unless it’s the candle, but there are lots of candles in the world.
