something I am grateful for today
Nov. 20th, 2023 06:45 pmTea lights.
Many years ago, like before we moved to our current house so like maybe twenty, on a whim I bought a pack of a hundred tea lights from IKEA, along with a few lanterns to hold them. I just really liked the idea of them making a soft pretty light.
I never used them. I was always saving them for a special occasion.
Last night, I read a post somewhere about how things are meant to be used and enjoyed. And how, if you're saving things for a special time, and you notice that a special time never comes, then stop it and enjoy them now. So tonight I have a candle going in front of me For No Reason®. And it's lovely, and it feels good to look at it, and I appreciate having it.
