Appreciating what we have
How many of us only buy flowers when we have guests?
When we were living in our rented house last year, the letting agency visited the house one day to perform a routine check, and I bought fresh flowers and cleared all surfaces in all rooms. The house looked spotless, and I remember my housemate at the time asked me if it wouldn't be lovely to come home to this every day, not just when the agency was visiting.
This Easter I bought chrysanthemums, and they lasted a month, and daffodils are always good value for money.
How many of us buy the luxurious wool for others, but not for ourselves? How many of us refuse to enjoy the cheap and cheerful yarn that makes others smile?
Maybe it wouldn't be practical to bring out the best china for every day use, but we can certainly enjoy other things every day or every weekend.
If we make every day a special day, in some little way, we'll enjoy life more.
