Have you checked the expiration date?
Today my mother-in-law made a Thanksgiving meal. You know the kind with dressing, sweet potatoes, mac and cheese?! Well, I was hype! So of course when you have dressing you HAVE to have cranberry sauce so my husband took out a can to get ready. The thing he NEVER does is check expiration dates, so when I was preparing to open the can, I took a quick look and of course, the can was EXPIRED.
As I went to find another can of cranberry sauce, that WASN’t EXPIRED I got to thinking. How often do we check the expiration dates in our lives? On our relationships, beliefs, clothing (that no longer fits)? I think sometimes we just go on in life without taking time to pause, to reflect and really check in on all of that and ask ourselves the question… HAS THIS EXPIRED?
As I take a brief hiatus from Social Media, I hope with more space for my own thoughts, I take the time to really think about things, people, ideas, and beliefs and throw out what is no longer good for me.
