learning to appreciate what I already have

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for.
--Epicurus

While browsing etsy, eBay, and Flickr, it's easy to become envious of the things other people have collected, and easy to forget what nice things I already have.



Photographing my treasures helps me to treasure them more and look at them in an entirely new light. And sharing them with others has made me realize how blessed I am to have what I have.
