Don’t ever save anything,
Save anything for a special occasion.
Being alive is a special occasion.
Let sunlight spilling through the window
Be reason enough to uncork the wine;
Let laughter echoing in the kitchen
Remind you that every heartbeat is a sign.
Wear your favourite clothes
That bring comfort to your body,
Light candles just because the night is here;
Don’t wait for perfect moments in the future,
This very moment is worth a cheer.
Life is not a dress rehearsal
Nor a script where joy is on delay.
Seize the glimmer in the ordinary,
And make each day a holiday.
Don’t ever save anything,
Save anything for a special occasion.
Being alive is that special occasion.

You are welcome Andy
Something I truly believe, don't put off until tomorrow something you can do today. A wonderful wise piece. Of course easier said than done in life's traffic jams but certainly a philosophy to be enjoyed. 🌹
So glad you feel the same Teddy. Yes it can be hard sometimes but we must press on in life every moment it it there.
Andy
