Do I seem like the kind of person who spends a lot of time in pawn shops?
(You might be surprised.)
Back in the day, my crackhead ex-husband would, regularly, pawn all our stuff (including Austin’s toys) before disappearing for days.
Then… I would have to go and try to buy it all back. I guess that’s how I got comfortable shopping there.
These days, I like to go there to buy jewelry. I love finding cute little rings to wear. Usually, several at a time.
(Did I mention that I really love rings?)
So a few years ago, Ashtyn gave me a ring that she bought at Forever 21. It was actually part of a set of 7 rings for $7. So it cost a whole buck!
But, the price didn’t matter to me. Not in the least!
That was my favorite ring! I loved it and wore it every day until it, literally, turned my whole finger GREEN!
Why?
It wasn’t the most valuable ring I owned. Or even the prettiest. It wasn’t made of precious metal or gemstones.
But, it was my favorite because of WHO gave it to me.
At Christmas, I think we get too wrapped up in the giving process, worrying about impressing others with the gifts we give.
Take the STRESS off!
It isn’t the designer label that makes a difference. It’s not the price tag. And it definitely isn’t the wrapping paper and bow.
It’s WHO the gift comes from that really matters.
And when that’s YOU… that’s what makes it special!
