I have posted on this thread previously, and want to once again.
Thank you Quilts Rock or starting this discussion. I now realize I was not the only one who struggled with using my "good" things on a regular basis. What started as a quilt discussion has evolved into so many of us sharing what is important to each of us, what memories we treasure, etc.
And, thank you all for sharing your experiences and helping people like me to know I deserve to use the things that I do.
