old belonging only or chiefly to the past; former or previous.
When deciding the difference between vintage and old you would consider age, quality and value or desirability. When i was thinking of this weeks Tablescape i pulled out a pattern i fell in love with years ago. Now it would be considered Old but not Vintage because it is not of great quality or value. But it is ironically called The Magic of Santa which features a Vintage Santa by #Sakura and it was a desired and sought after pattern by some.
This reminds me to look at the people in my life who i would consider Old or Vintage and why. People come into your life for many reasons some bring joy and add to your life, you have others who only come to destroy or steal your peace and happiness.
When we look at relationships we should really value and nurture the Vintage relationships. Those are the ones that weather storms with you, ones that have stood the test of battles and worn the scars proudly. The vintage people are here to stay and bring value and quality to your life. They are there through all the tears, the joy and all your ups and downs. They don’t fold when it gets tough. They enhance your life with joy and peace. Hold on to your Vintage people .
When we step back and examine the Old people what we find is yes they have been there a while and brought nothing to the relationship added no value to your life. They have been the storm and caused much confusion surrounding people and your life. They have been absent in the midst of a crisis but they have often known you longer than your Vintage people. Release your Old people.
Keeping and releasing people in your life requires you to decide between length of knowing a person and quality of what knowing them has brought into your life. Remember Vintage people bring quality and value, they desire to see you live your best life. They are willing to work and fight with you to greater. The amount of time you have known someone does not and should not be the only reason they are still in your life. Those old people that are holding space and causing nothing but heartache and confusion should not be allowed to remain.
Nurture the Vintage people and watch your life grow , notice how peaceful and joyous you are when they are near or just calling to check on you. Those are the people who love you inside and out ,flaws and all, rich or broke. Vintage people are required in your life for balance. Hold on tight to your Vintage people and live a full and complete life.
