It's time for a change!!!

Top of the weekend my friends! It’s time for a change!!?

This may look like a story about Daylight Savings time and it is kinda.?

However something more intriguing belongs to this narrative. Come a little closer for hopefully this will be a product of perceptive decision making and the mother of astonishment for you.

It’s time for a change!! Recently I read a story about a exquisite silk handmade "slip" trimmed with a cobweb lace pattern. Which was never worn and still in the box.?

The astronomical price tag was still attached to this 8 year old garment. She was saving it for that special occasion.

For those of you also read this tale of woe. You know they were married for over 35 years. For those who didn't, it would the last time this exquisite silk garment would ever be worn.?

I can only guess her husband’s heart was like a wilting flower in the window. The things we all take for granted certainly come to mind. A reminiscing reminder of the many things we can’t control.

So on this weekend when we "spring forward" and end our "fall backwards". May you discover that ”It’s time for a change!”

This week, this month, this year do it!?What are you waiting for? Oh Yeah! The right Special Occasion.?Time waits for no one!!!

Suggestion. Try creating for yourself more special occasions. Do something that you can’t imagine doing for yourself! Complicated? Really?

May I intellectually help your understandability on this issue? I have a old adage I’ve shared throughout the years. “If you don’t get up and get something for yourself. You’ll get what coming to you”!?

Remember, it was a really beautiful exquisite silk handmade slip trimmed with a cobweb lace. I’m dead certain this was not the special occasion. She or He had in mind.

The rule of thumb is this start small and end when your implicit possibilities accomplish their goals.

Got frequent flyer miles? Credit card points? Special dishes and silverware you use for Thanksgiving, Christmas and those rare family outings? Why not for dinner tomorrow? Can't you hear it now. What's the special occasion? Tell them it's "Serendipity"!!!

Growing up my parents had "that room" for special guests. You know, it was the guest room poster child! The carpet pristine, the furniture covered in plastic, the paintings on the wall priceless and great harm to those of you. Who dared to enter it uninvited. Personally, I can't ever remember very many guests actually sitting in that room. I know I never did!!!!!

Here's my waited too long “time for a change” moment. I was given a 700 dollar American Airlines voucher after agreeing to be bump off a flight. I kept the voucher on my desk so I wouldn’t forget to use it. I found it a couple of days ago. Just 48 hours after it had expired.?

Did you know 47 percent of gift card owners never use them? According to USAToday.com reports that's 21 billion dollars for those of you keeping track at home. Proof positive we are disproportionately successful. After all to paraphrase the commercial “you left home without it”!

Actually one of my favorite quotes is. “If you get enough change you can make a dollar”! Time for Daylight savings and it’s time for a change!!

Donut ever forget it!

Great article Dewayne. I also grew up with the forbidden living room. After my dad passed and we have to scale my mom back the furniture in that room was sold as if it was brand new. What a waste that my parents didn't enjoy. Run with life, get things dirty. We only travel this path once.

I love your perspective. I heard a similar one and I’ve remembered it periodically to do exactly as you say. Thanks. Your next AA voucher—buy a ticket to visit us here in paradise.

You did it again! Made a very attractive appeal to us to ‘Do it now.! Thank you my dear brother

My mother had a bottle of Dom Perrion that she save for years. Waiting for a special occasion. Someone broke in our house and stole it. ??
