What another would have done as well as you,
do not do it.
What another would have said as well as you,
do not say it;
what another would have written as well,
do not write it.
Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself—
and thus make yourself indispensable.
Andre Gide
Good Morning !
It is over the hump day once more ! I’m off to work and you know my motto… I owe I owe it’s off to work I go….
I really don’t want you all to think I’m in terrible debt or something when I say that. I ‘m merely the one who supports myself and with out the good old paycheck I might have to become a burden to my family, so I continue to go off to work each day and thank the good Lord that I’m able.
I am now able to laugh about the grand pension that was left to me by my DDH. I do receive a monthly check graciously allowed to me from the company my husband worked for for 25 years…Don’t laugh now, it is $89.27 . I was dumbfounded at the time I found out and I was refused a lump sum. So for obout 15 years now I’ve accepted that precious sum to add to my wages to live on each month. I do tend to laugh a lot rather than cry.
The family home at the time was sold and I now hove my own home that is entirely paid for. You see the Lord has been very good to me. I am constantly thanking Him for my daily bread and He never fails me.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
I was once afraid of people saying,
Who does she think she is?
Now I have the courage to stand and say,
This is who I am.

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart !

That lemonade looks very refreshing, and even more so if it comes with hot, sunny weather. I know that it is not easy to get by on one's own, but thankfully, it can be done. I am happy that my needs in life are getting fewer every day and that I do not need to fill my life up with "stuff" or debt. That pension seems like such a pittance, but if that is all that you can have, then you have made the most of it and are thankful. You have a good atittude if you have learned to laugh at things and it will serve you well. You could easily have another 40 years or more left in you yet. Don't sell yourself short
It's a real blessing to have a home that's paid for. Have a great day.

Its great you own your own place and don't have to worry about rent. I know what you mean about being self-sufficent and its a good place to be at. Don't work too hard though. Hugs, Terry x
