Never save somehing for a special occasion, because everyday in our life is a special occasion

I read a story about a guy who opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package:
"This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package."
He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.
"She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on, was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is it. He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothings he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died.


"Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion".



Those words changed my life.

Now I read more and waste less time.

I sit on the porch without worrying about anything.

I spend more time with my family, and less on my assignments.

I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through.
I no longer keep anything. I used to keep all my nice nice stuff that i bought for some "special occasion", but not anymore.

I use my favourited scented shampoo every day.. I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, or to university, if i feel like it.

I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to.
The words "Someday..." and "One Day..." are fading away from my dictionary. If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now.

I don't know what I would have done if I knew I wouldn't be here the next morning, this nobody can tell. I think I might have called my relatives and closest friends.
I might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I will catch a movie with all my bestfriend like how we used to and get myself a choc ice cream from Mc Donalds. It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come.

I would regret it, because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, letters... that I wanted to write

"One of these days".

I would regret and feel sad, because I didn't say to my brother and parents, family and friends, not times enough at least, how much I love them.

Now, I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives..
And, on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day..

Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.

In this world there is someone who cares for you and because, probably, there's someone you care about.

Don't forget to tell the people around u how much u appreciate them and how much u love thier company.If you say to yourself that you will tell them "One of these days", remember that "One day" is far away... or might never come...
