Most People I Know Collect One Thing Or Another. I Know Hardly Anyone Who Doesn't Have At Least A Tiny Obsession With A Strange Object. Let Me Share With You The Object That I Love To Collect: Spoons. Yes, You Read That Right, I Love To Collect Spoons. Many People Are Likely Wondering Why, Out Of All Of The Possible Objects To Collect In The World, I Have Chosen To Collect Spoons.Well, Great Question. My Answer Begins Fifteen Years Ago When I Took A Job As A Traveling Writer For A Magazine. I Got The Opportunity To Travel To All Of These Amazing Places Throughout The U.S. And Around The World. As I Began My Travels, My Friends And Family Began Asking Me What I Was Going To Bring Them Back From Each Location I Visited.I Wasn't Prepared For The Way That Traveling Would Cause A Need For Me To Bring Souveniers To Friends And Family. In Fact, The Idea Had Never Crossed My Mind. As I Made My First Road Trip Across The Country I Began Thinking Of Ideas In My Head For What I Could Bring Back From All Of The Foreign And Exotic Places I Traveled, Or Even From The State Next Door. I Was In A Coffee Shop One Morning When It Hit Me "spoons!"I Have No Idea Where The Thought Came From, But Once It Came It Stayed. In Fact, It Grew To Become Such A Strong Impression That I Couldn't Forget About It. I Had To Get Spoons For Myself And For Everyone Else I Knew. I Thought That Most People Would Appreciate A Spoon From Different Places. Not Only Because They Were A Unique Souvenier But Also Because They Were Something That Everyone Could Use.You Might Be Shocked To Learn How Much The People In My Life Have Been Enjoying The Spoons I Am Giving Them. Many Of Them Comment Frequently About What A Clever Idea I Had. My Own Spoons Collection Is Growing Rather Nicely And Is Taking Over An Entire Section Of My Dining Room Wall. I Have Been Putting My Spoons On Display Since I Started Collecting Them. I Now Have Nearly Seventy Spoons From Our Country And Around The World. Some Are More Unique Than Others, But I Love Them All Equally.My Point Is This: Collect Something. Grab A Little Something Special From The Places You Go. Choose Spoons Or Something Else Entirely, But Just Do It. Life Is Worth It.
