Did you grow up with \u2018Good Towels\u2019? You know, the ones in the bathroom you couldn\u2019t use? How about the living room you were allowed to go in only on certain holidays? Do you have \u2018good underwear\u2019? That one I haven\u2019t had for a long time \u2013 I always try to wear good underwear (just in case I\u2019m in an accident)!
\nBack to the good towels. I used to have some nice red towels (I had a red bathroom countertop from the 70\u2019s and I really liked it!) hanging in the bathroom. I\u2019d always had nice towels hanging that were NOT to be used. Even in my first apartment when I was 19. I don\u2019t remember exactly when I got rid of my good towels but I remember walking in to the bathroom one day, looked at the towels and thought how stupid it was for me to have good towels! It was a small bathroom with one big towel rack and a little hand towel rack. I took those things down, washed them (because they got dusty from non-use!) and have never had good towels again.
\nI feel the same way about life, especially midlife \u2013 use it, don\u2019t keep it for a special occasion. Do things, use things, give away things. It\u2019s only a possession and you can always get more or better yet something new and different!
\n Did you ever hear someone say on their deathbed \u201cGosh, I wish I had used those good towels\u201d?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
