I just had a thought! I usually don't do New Year's resolutions but this year I've decided that for 2010 I am going to act on some of those things I learned in 2009.
My main will be that saving things for (1) a rainy day, (2) use sometime in the future, (3) a special occasion, or (4) so I don't use it up and then need it later. We are not guaranteed of any future - I've learned that. Things we "own" may not last until that vague time in the future. Things may be in their prime and should be used then and not when they've dried up or whatever. Take hold of the day and make the most of what you have right then and there and let the future take care of itself. So there!!

Not a Green fanatic but please!
Just opened a renewal notice from The Whole Dog Journal to renew my subscription - it doesn't end until May 2010. Checking the calendar I see that we are still in December 2009 so I have at least 4 or 5 months before I will feel the pain of not receiving the monthly issue. Lets see - they sent the notice and a few other pieces of paper along with a no postage necessary return envelope. Total waste of time and paper. So I wrote the info on the renewal slip and put all the papers into the self addressed no postage necessary envelope and mailed it back to them.
Truth be told, I would rather just have a subscription to this magazine on line only. I don't need to keep collecting all these little booklets that I read once and tidily put in a notebook - in chronological order no less. I have tried to find articles that I thought I had read and haven't been able to find them in my neat and tidy notebooks. Would be much easier to just search on line at their site - even if I had to pay to do this and I wouldn't mind doing that.
They are not the only ones sending these renewal notices so far in the future that I begin to think that maybe they think I'm senile and don't keep track of when my subscriptions end. Must admit that isn't one of the first things I think of in the morning or the last thing at night but I do occasionally look at the address label and it is right there - right there for anyone to see!!
