This last year or so has taught me to celebrate the everyday. There is no point in hoarding the good china, the nice bottle of wine, or saving a restaurant for a special occasion. We need to not wait and hope that something is good enough to celebrate. We need to make the celebration happen. Or else someday our people will be cleaning out our things and will wonder why we never used the good china or drank the bottle of wine (all though that may make the cleaning more joyous). There is always an excuse to not make a reservation and go out. Instead make a reason to. It's ok to celebrate the silly.
True if we use the nice things they might get worn out or break, the bottle might run dry but we also will be making memories. We will have the ability to look back and say remember when we drank the in case of celebration champagne because there was champagne and we were together. That we ate dinner off the good plates because we could. That time we went to dinner at the frufru place just because we could. Those memories are worth more than saying we should someday.
So in the morning I will have my coffee cup toast with the toddler. Later I may even have a cookie or a piece of chocolate. We will laugh about something silly or maybe blow bubbles in the house. To celebrate that we have made it to another day, or we had chocolate, or that toasting is ridiculous fun and fancy
