Every Day of My Life Is A Special Occasion

"Don't save something for a special occasion.  Everyday of your life is a special occasion."  By Thomas S. Monson

   I woke up this morning.  Today, my life, my children, my husband, all add up to the MOST special occasion.
   My grandmother saved everything...really...everything.  She would buy or be given gifts and she would save them for a special time to use them.  I remember she had clothes, shoes, hand towels, and placemats she had put up to save.  This always troubled me as a youngster,  why would she not use the nice things now where she could enjoy them now.  When she passed away a lot of the things she had put up to save were still put up.  She never enjoyed them.
  Every day is a special occasion, THIS day will never come again.  I have learned through her to enjoy things and people today.  We are not promised tomorrow.  Are you saving things for a special occasion?
