It's Time to Use The Good Stuff

Do you have some china given to you by your grandmother?  Did you receive china as a wedding gift but sits in a cabinet for a "special occasion?"

Have you ever defined a "special occasion?"  When was the last time you had a "special occasion" and used that china?  I venture to say it's likely been quite some time, if ever.

Tonight, there was no special occasion, no one joining me, no reason to celebrate..just a quiet Saturday night but I pulled out the nice stuff.

In my previous life, I never pulled out my china - never.  I had it for 5 years and not even once.   Then when life changed, I sold it.  Sold it brand new.   Through the years, while I have not acquired a new set of china, I have purchased some dinnerware that I really really love.   But even in all the time that I've had it, I've rarely used it.  So starting tonight...I'm using the good stuff.  

So what are you waiting for?   Why spend all that money to only have it sit in a cabinet?   Why register for it if you weren't going to use it?   

Order some pizza...make some peanut butter and jelly on the china dinner plate, pour a glass of milk in that crystal stemware and scoop some ice cream in the glass ice cream bowl.

Life is short...it's time to use the good stuff!
