Used

I’m not one to keep a bunch of junk around. Actually, I’m quite the compulsive purger. I think it’s some kind of revolt from the way I was raised – my Mom and my Grandma both keep everything. I’m constantly getting rid of stuff. I don’t know if it’s a force of habit from living in small spaces (our last house was 800 square feet) or my desire to be ever organizing, if not exactly organized, but I just have a hard time holding on to things that we’re not currently using.
The exception to this rule seems to have been wedding gifts. The crystal, in particular. Too fancy to use it. No room to keep it. The knowledge that it was expensive, and someone bought it for us with a heart of love. I just couldn’t do away with it. So it has lived through eight moves in the almost ten years since our wedding and has never found a spot in our home. It has lived in a cardboard box. Until today. I’ve been trying to sort and organize all of our storage items that have been sitting in the garage since we moved in. Today I found the crystal drinking glasses. And I thought, who cares if they’re expensive, they’re useless in this box. And we’re running out of glasses anyway.
So now we’re drinking our water in style.
