Do you remember when the fine china came out only during special occasions? Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, or when relatives were in town?
One feast, and it went back into the cabinet. Along with some advice, like “one day it will be yours”, and “this is not for everyday”, or “we need to save it”.
Did you ever think why today is not special enough? Why tonight’s dinner with family is not something precious? What if there is no next time?
Seneca, the Stoic philosopher, said: “Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.”
Start by eating on the fine china.
