I know I don’t have to write much about this! Wow.

So simple. So succinct. What more do we need to remember.

When we’re sitting at home watching an ad for this or that and about to hit the “order” button, ask yourself if you really need that thing. What will you do with it?

I’m not on an anti-buying campaign here or anything like that. I’m just asking myself what am I missing inside when I am buying something. Maybe the answer is nothing and whatever it is will just make my life easier (like a can opener for instance). Then I’m asking myself what in my life is better than the thing I’m about to buy? All I’m doing is getting myself to appreciate more about my life because there is so so much in that life that I want to appreciate.

Maybe the next question I’ll ask is “will this thing I’m about to buy help me appreciate more in my life?” Again just getting me to think more deeply.

This may not be for you but I want to delve more thoroughly into all the gifts I’ve been given – especially the hidden ones.
