Excess

Never go to excess, but let moderation be your guide.

~Marcus Tullius Cicero

Moderation. An inspired notion. I think a person {let's call her, Visa--no pun intended} can live in moderation of most things, content with what she has. However, in regard to the following items, we can see that these words of counsel have fallen on deaf ears. Translation: See below for items in which a person can simply have TOO many:

Pillows. Someone stop me.

Cards of greeting, coming out of my ears. Mostly found on clearance that I just couldn't resist. Thank you. Thinking of You. Happy Birthday. But mostly, Blank, just because...





Ribbons. rIbBoNs. RIBBONS.

Cookie cutters. Everything from A-Z. {Literally. Can you see the alphabet?}

Maple leaf. Check.

Miniature chili pepper. Check.

Rubber ducky. Check.

On the contrary, there are certain things in which a person may never want to be found in moderation. For example, her love of God and family, or her devotion to her beliefs. Right? These are things in which we would not want to be found "lukewarm". {I just read this talk, and so I'm on one. Now, back to the lighter side of things...}

The following are more things, tangible or not, of which this person would prefer her life always be in excess:

Hearty laughter.

Time.

Skim milk. Honestly.

This...

...and that...

...and this...

...and an extra dose of this, please.

Never too much of this.
