I heard a great saying on a website. I guess I read it really. It said that life is not about having everything you want, but wanting what you have.
I have been thinking about this for a while, way before Thanksgiving. What am I glad that I have in my life?
Family is number one.
A home and vehicles are another.
A job that I can relate my skills that I have now to.
And the urge to go and get everything out of life that I can is another.
What I am trying to write is that you have plenty now, even if you think you have nothing, you have so much more.
I have been thinking about our savings too. I am trying to figure what is going to keep saving.
What am I willing to give up to get what I want? I want savings. I don't want to spend good money on crap anymore. So, I am giving up crap. That is hard to do during the holiays. I can't help but get the cute crap that sits on the shelves. I will do my best and regretfully post anything I buy.

It is (also) a line from a Sheryl Crow song, SOAK UP THE SUN.
