Oxymorons Unite!

Spontaneous spending can bring 
Sadness, grief and fear  
Or more to my preference
            Joy, Fun and Contentment

How, you say?
Managed spontaneous spending?
Sound completely oxymoronic?
Does to me, yet also completely logical.
Spontaneous spending when allowed
Free rein of funds for food and necessity
does not share well in that playground of necessity

Creating special space in the bank or in a jar
Spontaneous spending needs
  A plan
An outline
But……
No timeline
   No schedule
And most importantly 
  NO RULES!
Just a couple of ‘rights’
   Right amount of money available
     Right ability to see reality and imagination in the same place
        The rightness to ‘know thyself’.
    
Otherwise ~
Spontaneous spending spills over into
  Cupboards, closets, garages, nooks and crannies
But does not fill any holes in the heart.
(Except for books)

“Remember what Bilbo used to say: ‘It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, 
going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, 
there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.’”
~ J.R.R.Tolkein
