I recently came into some inheritance money from my great aunt.  We were pretty close and I will miss her terribly.  The condition that I would get the inheritance money is that I would spend it on something for me – something that I wanted but didn’t need.

For a long time, I have wanted a birthstone ring.  Since I was born in February, that would mean that I would need an Amethyst ring.  I checked out some luxury jewelry stores online and found a couple of designs I liked.  With that in mind, I went to look at some jewelry stores today.

I walked into a store that sold unique designer jewelry.  I haven’t been in a jewelry store for years, let alone one that sold designer jewelry, so I had to look around.  I explained to the sales clerk what I was looking for and they lead me to a case with Amethyst rings in it.

Wow!  With so many choices, I felt a bit overwhelmed, but I managed to pick the perfect ring.  It is sitting on my finger now, and is my new best friend.  Each time I look at it, I am reminded of my great aunt and smile.
