It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done a Christen’s Closet. Life got busy, other things needed my attention, and before I knew it, something I really enjoy doing kept getting pushed to next week.
Funny how easily that happens, isn’t it?
We tell ourselves we’ll start when we have more time.
We’ll do it when things slow down.
We’ll wear that outfit when we have somewhere special to go.
We’ll use the good dishes when company comes.
We’ll take the trip when the timing is better.
We’ll start that thing we’ve been thinking about when we finally feel ready.
But what if "ready never really comes?"
I think sometimes we spend so much time waiting for the right moment that we forget we’re already living in it.
So wear the good jeans.
Put on the jewelry you’ve been saving.
Burn the candle.
Use the pretty dishes.
Take the picture - even if you don’t love everything you see in the mirror.
Start the thing you keep putting off.
Say yes once in a while just because it sounds fun.
And quit waiting for a special occasion to enjoy the things you love.
Maybe today IS the special occasion.
I certainly don’t have everything figured out, and there are plenty of things I keep saying I’m going to get to “someday.” But I’m realizing more and more that I don’t want to save all the good stuff for someday.
The good clothes. The good memories. The good ideas. The good times.
Life is happening right now!!
So if there’s something you’ve been putting off because you don’t have the time, the confidence, the perfect circumstance - or you simply don’t feel ready…
Maybe this is your reminder.
✨Start anyway. Wear the good stuff. And, enjoy the life you have while you’re living it. 🤍christen
