<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Have you heard the saying &#8220;Life is short &#8211; use good dishes?&#8221; Well, one particular morning I decided that there are more important luxuries than pretty tableware&#8230;</p>
<p>The realization came to me as I was reading a note a friend of mine sent me which contained the following quotation about life:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.<br />
~Hans Christian Anderson</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure you can guess where I was. If I&#8217;d had a pen, I could have written this post on that paper &#8230;What was I thinking buying that stuff?</p>
<p>There are lots of ways to save money. Ways that make us feel in control of our finances and good about ourselves. These are great things to do. But some luxuries are necessary, aren&#8217;t they?</p>
<p>Anyway, back to my point &#8230; Life is short. How many times have I thought that it&#8217;s the big moments that really matter? If you have kids, maybe it was the birth of your children. For someone else it might be running into a burning building to save someone. And you&#8217;re right, times like these times are unforgettable and important. But trust me on this: <strong>it is the tiny fleeting moments that build your history</strong>.</p>
