When I purchase a new outfit I wear it
Sparingly.
I always want to "save" things.
I don't want to get my delicate turquoise
Blouse or my church shoes worn or
Dirty.
I wear my same old tops and pants and
Preserve my newer ones.
Today when I pulled on a sweatshirt more that
Thirty years old I decided I would try to do
Better.
Perhaps I'll wear my Easter suit before
Easter this year.
Perhaps I won't save my dressy dress for a
Wedding.
Perhaps.
And, Missy and Rachie, when I'm gone,
Deck me out in my finest apparel, even if its
Thirty years old.
I'll finally have no reason to save it.
