Old Towels

When I was a young woman, a new wife trying to find my place in the world, I thought I needed all the shiny new things for my home. The latest appliances, the trendy knick knacks, name brand furniture, matching dishes and fancy linens. Oh the linens! For some reason I loved getting new linens. I still do but now out of necessity. I just had to have all matching linens, coordinating colors, and those useless little finger tip towels. What are those about? When people would come over, even my parents, I'd put out the 'good towels'. Don't look at me like you don't know...you do. I was obsessed in making sure my home looked spit spot when anyone visited. This earned more than a few life lessons from my dad, especially that day I wanted to show off my new towels. He said, "Jean, your old towels are better than my good towels." It's taken me more than a few years to realize the lesson behind that simple statement: my old good towels were better than most
