not sure what to - or how to write this

I think I am starting to see that I don't have to have a lot of money


to enjoy or even like the life I have. There's always been that lingering pressure


to live the height of heights. Perhaps it's part of being an American.


Perhaps it's been a misconstrued lesson of childhood and being inculcated


by advertisements and magazines. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea


of having a lot of money but I feel just happy about my life...Not letting


anyone else rule it - a kind of happy, independence about it, finally it seems.


I am also excited about where I am going!


I guess I am just grateful for having a good day. So far


morning chores have been done. Got a hot drink at the Starbucks and I get my haircut at 1pm,


then have an early dinner with an old friend. I've known her now for 42 years!


I hope you guys are having a good weekend. Keep on keeping on.

Hope you have a fun Saturday, Mark!
Enjoy your dinner.

I have never needed a lot of money, but as life has fallen into place as it is, I would like some home comforts so I don’t feel like a college student buying quarters for laundry at my age. And a separate dining room so I could invite people over for dinner. A bit more space for guests. And that takes money.

I'm glad that you're having a good day sweetie..... I've never had a lot of money.... When I worked I had what would be considered a reasonable salary and I never did without

Then I ended up on disability and money went way down.... I found that it was a good lesson for me in some ways.... I still never did without in a different way

I to feel blessed sweetie.... Big squishy hug.... Have a great dinner with your friend... xo
