Thrifting While Jogging

Thrifting while jogging!  We have all heard the saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”  As I sat outside to have my morning coffee and do a little reading, it dawned on me that everything I was using had come from someone else who no longer found the need for it.  The chair that I was sitting in was given to me by a private duty client.  The glass-top end table came from a jogging session around my neighborhood one morning, when I stumbled upon a lady who was moving out-of-state and was downsizing her load.  When I politely asked if I could have the table, she replied I have another match that goes with it.  Since I didn’t need both in my house, I decided to create an outdoor setting with one of them.  And lastly, the black table that I have my feet on just  arrived this morning from another jogging session.  I had driven pass my friend’s house across the street a couple of days ago, and saw the table, but decided I really don’t have need for another piece of furniture.  But this morning as I begin to cross my legs and wish that I had a foot stool, my thoughts returned to the little black table across the street, and off I went to retrieve it.  My morning coffee and reading now became a lot more comfortable, thanks to thrifting while jogging.
