That made me think of all the lovely china I own. I have a Jones about china, and crystal. I love that stuff. It doesn&#8217;t have to match anything, either. Heck, not even my Le Creuset™ matches. My grandmother had different cups and saucer sets for all of the members in her family, and she used them every day for afternoon coffee. Mine was a beautiful Spode™ green cup with a cameo of a couple dancing. But I am always hesitant about using it. What if it chips? What if it gets scratched? What if it breaks?</p>

<p>What if it stays unused on the shelf until the day I die? Why save the special stuff for special occasions? Every day is a gift, and we should make the effort to enjoy them in that manner.</p>
<p>So today, make sure y&#8217;all use the pretty dishes, and the best sheets, and the expensive candles, because every day is a special occasion 😉</p>
