Here's a reprint of a story published January 1, 2004:
 Hi! I enjoy your newsletter so much! This morning one of your
stories made me think....  I collected "everything" for years! Had a house
full!  Things given to me & others that I bought when we were out & about. 
One day a young friend brought her new baby over to visit me & she had a fit
over all my Fiesta....she had been buying a little piece here & there and her
family was giving it to her as gifts!  She had loved Fiesta for a long time &
hoped someday to have a wonderful collection! So that day I felt like I should
give her my pieces!  Why wait until I'm gone...that could be years!  My only
stipulation was that she enjoy them, use them & pass something of hers on to
someone who will enjoy it.  Since that time I've given away hundreds of
things....it seems I always find more!  Instead of waiting until I'm gone I
get the enjoyment of seeing everyone enjoy the things now!  And everyone knows
that unless they REALLY want something not to mention it to me....because it
will
be theirs!  I don't miss those things!  I get so much pleasure knowing that
they are so valued & loved by someone ho can enjoy them NOW!...  Janet
