With Christmas nearly here, and me with no Christmas bonus from a troubled employer....I'm finding that I have many things in my home to use as gifts. Alot of what I treasure...I've already designated to my girls for when I'm gone. However, I've decided there's no time like the present...to make these treasures PRESENTS...so Christmas will be rich this year, with the joy of giving. I might not spend a dime, but will have a great Christmas even so.
I'm also going to benefit from having moved. In fact, this new home has a higher rent than the place I left, but the electric will be lower as will the heating so I will be dollars ahead even with the higher rent.
But the greater benefit of this (as you know, painful...) move is that it will make my life better, deeper and more precious. I did love my old home. It saved me from a demon of a landlord where I lived when we all first met. But there was no outside life for me and my soul was starving for what that meant. I could not garden, I could not build bon-fires and I could not have parties or picnics outside. I am definately a country girl, and love to live outside in the summer. My life will be so enhanced as I come to blend with the new home. I think as we make cut backs, we need to be careful not to forget our quality of life..keeping what's important in perspective.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL, MY FRIENDS !!!
