or: What Makes Your Day OK?
It's come to my attention that we may all be in for some personal budget cuts in the near future - if not immediately
I tried to keep my head in the sand as long as I could :-)
I decided to take a look at where I was spending my money - and where I could spend less - and started to really wonder...
What are those things that make my day OK - normal - comfortable?
What simple things make us feel content - even while doing without many of the things we've come to take for granted?
There are many people in this world that are going without in a very big way - and many who have been without for quite a while before the current
economic situation hit the fan
So, in my own life - regardless what may come next - I consider myself to be fortunate - and I'm thankful for what I have
While I was thinking about it - it made me realize that it really is the simple things in life that matter
I hope everyone reading this weathers the storm - and lands on their feet
My real hope is that the storm ends up being nothing much - and not much to weather
Ever the optimist - or, maybe just not that bright
There are more than enough doom and gloom threads on this subject, so - on a lighter note:
After basic food and shelter - what are those little, everyday things that make your world OK? The things you would keep on your list regardless?
it could be anything - we all have our own special little needs - movies, books, chocolate, beer - the soft toilette paper...
I'll start: coffee
and, it doesn't even have to be fancy coffee - or coffee house coffee - freeze dried crystals will do
