Tax increases, Christmas paid for, looking at the possibility of no bonus this year, has found us tightening our belts (budget). Three words I really hate. Was going to say "dislike," but that would be lying big time. Wishing I could find more joy in cooking, eating out less, less traveling, no new clothes or shoes, etc... I am thankful for all I do have. Please don't think less of me, but being frugal is like the plague to me. It is not one of those things I am good at.
I have tried painting trim and doors, fixing up, cleaning out, reading, being sick (that one not by choice), and a slew of other stuff to keep my mind off the negative. Maybe it can be blamed on January, the economy, the weather, or anything else blamable. When it gets right down to it, it's my pathetic attitude. I make the choice of how I want to handle challenges. Lincoln's words, "you are as happy as you make up your mind to be," rings in my ears. For now, I will choose to be thankful and work on the totally "HAPPY" part...carry on.
