where the good stuff lives (new post at roots of she)

One of my grandmother’s aprons found its way to me after she died almost seven years ago. Since her death, I have been collecting vintage aprons and could outfit many of you reading this with one if you came over for an afternoon of baking or painting. I love wearing vintage aprons when I paint, and now that I am cooking a bit more, I wear them in the kitchen too. But her apron, Grandma’s apron, stayed in the drawer in the kitchen as though I was “keeping it for good” or some special occasion even though it truly is an everyday apron meant to be worn.

AMEN! You can sit and wait and wait and wait forever for the good or perfect time to come ... and it never will. But that's just it: the good time -- the best time -- is right now. Thank you for sharing.
