31天学会简单生活，第十九天：总会有其他的东西的 译者： 陈俊强 原作者：Emily 发表2010-10-22
Whenever I think I have to have something or that I’ve found a deal I can’t pass up, I remind myself that there with always be something else. Something newer and shinier. The newest best things today are tomorrow’s Goodwill donations. Target will always have a clearance rack, Goodwill will always have $5 jeans, yard sales will always have household stuff for $1, and there will always be catalogs with nice things in them making what I have now look like old news.每当我认为我需要某些东西或者是发现了一些我羡慕已久的东西，我就会提醒我自己，那儿还有别的东西.那些东西将更加新和更加亮丽。明天最好的礼物就是把今天最好的最新的东西给贡献出来。这些东西都是会有一些间隔感的，市场总会有五美元的牛仔裤，院子里面销售的东西总是会有适合家庭使用的一美元的东西。这样的话，在其中我总会找到好东西，尽管这些东西看起来不是很新。 I can find a deal next week, next month, next year. I can’t get time back with the people who matter most. There won’t always be kids doing firsts, and moments that they want to be hugged are slipping away much too quickly. I’ll take a clearance deal another day. Today, I’m soaking up the things I won’t be able to find in a store next week. 在下个星期，或者是下个月，或者是下一年，我能够找到一笔交易。但是我无法让时间倒流，我也无法与我最重要人一起度过这些时间。孩子喜欢做的事就不会成为我最先需要做的事了，并且他们想抱我的时间将会快速的溜走。这样的话，我要在另外一天清仓处理。今天，我泡的东西我不会在下个星期商店里面找到。
