Here's to what we DO have! Cheers!

Well, I wish I had some pictures of my kids to post, but today I don't. Yesterday, I was talking with my friend- we'll call her Lori who said, " I have been in a bad mood for a month!" Well, I think I have been in a "Bad Mood" for longer than that! There is sure a lot of depressing things going on in the world, even within our families and friends. I have been thinking a lot and trying to make sense of it all- of course I don't have any answers yet- but I was reading this article my Mom gave me today, (it was concerning Financial Freedom,) and it had the 10-10-80 plan. It said for you to put 10% of your income in savings, then 10%- you give to a charity, then you make do with the other 80%. It said that even though you may be having a hard time financially, giving away something each month, makes you even that much more grateful for what you have.

And so, I am grateful for my good family and friends (who keep me sain- daily and joke with me, make me smile, and watch out for me,) a roof over my head, a job and my darling girls- who are so sassy I could just ground them forever- but in the next minute have me laughing my guts out!

With this all said, and nothing really being solved- I leave you with a thought my Dad and Grandma Deon have always told me, "Keep your Chins up- this too shall pass!"
