I cannot believe just how great it feels to be caught up on bills. Even got a couple "PAID IN FULL" and that is also a great feeling.
It's a new year and things are going a little better. I hope things keep going in this direction.
I lost one of my furry friends, Monty - the ferret. (on the right) Ferrets only live a few years and Monty was a rescue ferret that knew he was loved in his new home. He actually lived almost 2 years longer than expected. Merlin and Gimli (the two surviving ferrets) miss him and so do I. (Merlin is pictured on the left)
Monday is my birthday and another year has passed. I try not to look at the bad things in the past but instead look forward to better things. When I turned 40 I went through a time where I didn't want to buy anything for myself because I figured that I couldn't take it with me and it would be one more thing for my survivors to have to deal with. Then I thought, what the heck, can't take money with me either, may as well enjoy life while I am here and quit worrying about dieing and what death would be like. I can't live with being scared so I did my best to turn myself around. Of course bills have to come first but I am trying to otherwise enjoy life to it's fullest. Buddha and going to temple have helped a lot.
So, Happy New Year !
