"Being alive is as special an occasion as it gets" 😍
@daviddlevine @corbden > any reason to celebrate is a good one.

@daviddlevine
We don't drink out of the fine China tea cups often because they won't go well in the dishwasher and I CBA. Thinking about it, they should go to charity.

@daviddlevine My parents saved a ton of money by never throwing anything away or buying anything new unless they absolutely had to, but now they're too old to enjoy it. Better to enjoy the good times now while you still can! πŸ˜ƒβ€οΈ

#Alt4You Screenshot of a quote tweet chain in dark mode with the original post by the human sadiepede 2 @hell_doe which reads "thinking about the girl who brought me coffee from texas and joked that i would have to ration it out for special occasions. my friend, i do not save my good things. being alive is as special as occasion as it gets". Above that, Mike Hamilton, RIV says '"being alive is as special an occasion as it gets" fundamentally alerted my brain'. Finally, Oliver Darkshire adds "ten years as an antiquarian, hearing nothing but "my relative kept this untouched in a box their whole love but they died, and I don't want this stuff" has radicalized me. annotate the books. use the china. wear the clothes until they wear out. your life should not be a museum"

@daviddlevine Reminds me of that popular Richard Dawkins quote:

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia.

I initially misread that as "Dawson".

Richard Dawson was a long-time host of the Family Feud game-show.

I did NOT expect him to be that insightful. Then upon 2nd reading, I caught my mistake & LOL'd.

@daviddlevine And always eat the best apple (the next apple is also the best apple).
@daviddlevine I discovered some Blue Mountain coffee in the bottom of the freezer left over from our last visit to Jamaica - having discovered it I'm certainly drinking it now, not keeping it any longer!
@daviddlevine everyday should be a celebration of life, love 😍πŸ₯³πŸΎ

@daviddlevine @cpm β€œYour life is not museum of your former self”.

So let go of some those all photos and blog posts.
Spend no time watering the weeds.
Delete. Delete.

@daviddlevine
