Hold out for the best and treat it well when you find it.
– Carrie and Danielle
Sounds like a good relationship advice, right? Yes, but Carrie and Danielle’s post called Cheap is expensive in the long run was actually talking about shopping. Shopping for quality, not quantity. Many times, I think we need to be reminded of this lesson to live more simply, and with less clutter. This also comes at a good time, since school is just around the corner, and I can’t be spending money like I do now. My goal is to stick to buying essential high-quality purchases. Oh man, I know this will take a LOT of self-control…
Back on the topic of relationships, here are a few ways you can treat your partner / friends / family well:
- Give them big bear hugs.
- Buy them coffee, or their beverage of choice.
- Leave nice short notes in random places for them to find.
- Say–and mean–your I love yous often.
- Always kiss your partner goodnight.
They’ll sure appreciate the gesture.
