In life there are needs and there are wants. Food, clothing, and shelter are needs. Swimming classes, cell phones and DS’s are wants. In this new economy more and more of us are eliminating the wants from our household budgets. It’s OK, take a deep breath. The best things in life are free.
Yesterday my husband, son and I played imaginary instruments to a John Mayer song. Smiles were exchanged, funny “rock band” faces were imitated and laughter ensued. We simply enjoyed one another.
This past Christmas our 5 year old son was in charge of decorating the tree (why not, the only reason we still get one is for him). The three of us worked together to position it, install the lights and place the 6 bulbs that my son deemed appropriate. We then turned off the lights, played Nat King Cole’s Christmas album and held one another on the couch. Priceless…
I thank God for my country and want to see us succeed. But perhaps the lesson during this temporary economic downturn is to refocus ourselves for the REAL important things in life.
