For some that may mean accessories, as it does for me, a self confessed accessory addict! Whether I'm working from home or not on any given day, I'm decorating and going for the gold - real and fake!
But going for the gold can also be simple everyday goals! I mean really, what are we waiting for to do something special, wear something special, use something special, or share something special - even making a phone call to someone special to us!
I remember reading that Barbra Streisand (I've luuuuuuuuuuuved since I was a kid & have seen live three times), had a gift of soaps from her stepfather. She kept the unopened soap for years opting not to use them as they were a gift. Well, as I recall, she finally opened the gifted soaps and used them. It didn't diminish the gift or the memory but rather celebrated being in the moment. As she asked herself, what was she waiting for to open the gift soaps?!
What are we all waiting for to celebrate the gold in our lives?
So don't save that something special - use it, do it, appreciate it!
PS, As a Streisandaholic' I'm sure I know that the relation with her stepfather was less than loving but I suppose it meant something that he was giving her a gift if not way overdue!
***Most of my characters on my Vanity Cases geeting cards celebrate this toxically optimistic thinking with a bit of pithiness thrown in! Come see: VanityGallery.Etsy.com
And if you say you saw my blog and order even a single card, I'll include a bonus card toyou!
