The upcoming Ravens game, I can't stop thinking about it!

TheMerryFairy · 01-18-2013, 03:05 PM

I wonder what Friday evening will bring, how much cooking I will have to do to satisfy, how many wonderful conversations could present themselves and if I am really prepared for tomorrows opportunity. I guess I can just live in the moment and go with the flow!

Is there a full moon or something tonight?

DamonK · 01-18-2013, 05:50 PM

Two emails received today and their potential meanings
Consequences that could result from both of them... And not all consequences are bad

No, no full moon. Today is the 1st quarter.

What is on my mind today is why people become the kinds of friends they are in my life. I have those friends that are so close, they can be counted on for anything, at any time. They don't need to talk to me all the time but I know I can count on them for anything if its needed, whether that is company for a coffee date, last minute babysitting, a much needed extra $20 to fill in a gap, or simply a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on. I also know I would do the same for them. These friends really do BECOME family to me. But other friends who I have had and kept over the years did not become that for one reason or another.

Recently I am realizing that much of this is because they do not reflect the qualities I hold closest in my heart. I look for many things in my tightest circle, and the lack of one of those qualities inevitably leads to a much more distant friendship. As I have thought about that this past week or so I have started to think about what those qualities are. I really do look for qualities like generosity, understanding, open-mindedness, honesty, and good communication skills. I have always valued these qualities.

What I am realizing is included in these that I did not see before is thriftiness and economy of life. Not that they have very little, or that they want very little, but that they can make so much FROM very little. I do not have to have the best and most expensive of things to have a happy and full life. I personally have a house full of things that make me very happy. But I spend my money wisely and I meet both my needs and my desires without overextending myself. I choose to make a picnic, instead of eat out. I choose to go to the beach instead of a theme park. I choose to buy a used couch or car, instead of spending more on a new one. I have made a lot of choices to put my family ahead of money. I choose to live on less and to have more.

I guess today I am thinking about how important this quality is to me... and how some people still don't get it.

Thank you for your sincere post. I, like you, value these things in my own life and among those who have become friends and family.

It is rare to find people who possess many of these qualities in the same ways we do and even more rare to find people who seem to have them all. Lately I have been considering how blessed I am - old friends and new.

This.right.here!
Precisely.
I, too, live within my means....and I may not always get what I want, but I am able to get what I need...and it builds one's self values.... To do so, and with dignity and humbleness, makes one appreciate so much more...just what IS exactly important in life.
Those simplest of things...basic necessities we have to have....the smallest of things are important...and where there is a will..there is a way. I know I am branching off in another direction..but still..makes us so much more humble..so much more appreciative...because we actually DO know what is important in life.
Thank YOU, Jenn....I DO get it, too......

Clay, I am with you! I live within my means and I love to browse for a nice bargain gem find. Something to add personality to my space and to allow me to pick up on the sentimental value of what is important in my life.

The small things do matter, and some of the bigger things that have nothing to do with material goods.

I am forever appreciative of what I have been given and the tools I have to change my direction when it is time.

~ocean · 01-18-2013, 07:13 PM

i was brought up from very materialistic parents .. i am the opposite of them .. when my friends and i would go out ,, we took care of those who couldnt afford what were doing .. thats what REAL friends do .. when money takes presidence over friendship ,, thats not friends,,,,

What is on my mind... this morning.

I got a call while at work yesterday but was totally unable to answer it. I just listened to the voicemail this morning. The test results from the ultrasound must be in at my gyno's office.

I guess I should have tried to take the call. Now I have to wait till Monday... ugh!
