Why save it?

Last Christmas my step-mom gave me some very nice soap in a gift basket filled with other cool goodies. One thing she told me was to make sure I used it and didn't save it for that special occasion that may never come. I started thinking about all the things I have saved in the past. Things I never got to wear, never go to smell, never got to enjoy!

I started going through my boxes of "keeper junk" and found old bottles of perfume, expensive make-up, candles, and even soap! These were things I had been saving for that special moment; and that moment never arrived.

Since Christmas I have made sure to use the soap, use the expensive make-up everyday, wear the "going-out" clothes whenever I want, and spray the perfume that makes me feel sexy! I took for granted these little pleasures and now I'm trying my best to enjoy them.

You never know what will happen that will prevent you from enjoy the small things, so I ask, "Why save it?"
