Then and Now
That was then.
This is now.
Then I played tennis.
Now I do yoga.
Then I cooked for five people.
Now I make meals for two.
Then I dressed for the office.
Now I am retired.
Then I _____________.
Now I _____________.
Time passes.
Things change.
What we once used regularly, we now seldom touch or rarely need.
There are people out there who are playing tennis, or cooking for a large family
or who need professional clothing.
Letting go of what you no longer use,
makes it available to people who need it now.
Remember the fun and pleasure you received from an activity,
and give someone else a chance to experience it too.
Don’t let all your stuff from then,
fill the space for what you could be doing now.
