Don't Take it with U

Sorting through what is just stuff and what really matters. So times we get so bogged down in the world that we can't see thru the "stuff" in our lives. "Oh gas is up again, this is due now and this is broken and needs to be replaced." But that is just stuff. It isn't what or who we are. We all have those moments that we can't see beyond the trees. But somehow it all works out. Learning that we have done the homework and the rest will follow. Hard work and a little faith. Believing that life is a cycle and it all comes back around.
I have been instill with the good sense of saving. That in all is a good thing. Don't touch it til a raining day. But sometimes spending for quality is needed. I too have learned that. Buy once and enjoy it for a lifetime or at least more than a year or too. Not wanting the almighty dollar to control me or my family. I have learned that it isn't mine in the first place, I am just the administrator of it. Times are tough but this should not affect me if I know the truth. I too have learned this. And for the most part I have been good in knowing this but there comes times where it is tested. That is good too. It will tend to ground me, put me back where I need to be. Live within my means and don't forget to share. There are other out there that need to see that. Stretch it but don't break it. "Do as Grandma did in the past." (And you didn't think I picked that one up-did you?) And for heaven sake don't take it with you!
